SCOUT REVIEW
Rustler Lodge in Alta, Utah is a cozy alpine retreat that delivers unrivaled slope access and genuine hospitality. Skiing in and out is seamless thanks to the transfer chairlift right off the property, placing you directly on Alta's lift network in under five minutes. With just 85 rooms, the lodge ensures a personalized and welcoming feel—staff handle everything from luggage to ski rentals and offer morning stretch classes plus spa appointments.
Dining is a highlight: included in your stay is a hot breakfast buffet and a nightly four-course gourmet dinner served in their slope-view dining room. Scout loves the attentive service and quality of cuisine at every meal. The lodge also features the Eagle’s Nest Lounge, where afternoon hors d’oeuvres and scenic mountain views provide the perfect après setting to boast about your ski turns from that day.
Post-ski recovery amenities are excellent at Rustler Lodge: the outdoor pool is heated to around 100°F and overlooks the slopes, indoor/outdoor hot tubs, eucalyptus steam room, sauna, and full-service spa and massage offerings are all on-site. There’s also a fitness room with mountain views and an on-site ski shop (“Powder House”) offering boot fitting and gear services.
Rustler strikes the balance between tradition and comfort: while decor may not be high-gloss or trendy, rooms are spacious, clean, and well maintained, with soft sheets and cozy robes—many guests call it "home-away-from-home." And trust us, you could live there year round!
Who should stay here
Dedicated skiers, families, or couples desiring effortless slope access, high-quality inclusive dining, and a service-focused alpine lodge experience with comfort rather than flash.
