If there was a word better than “perfect,” then I would use that word

Where do I begin? Everything was literally perfect.
- The staff was accommodating, kind, insanely helpful, and they worked hard and fast to make sure everything got done in time. They were also very fun to chat with, and were always a good vibe.
- The facility was very clean and kept in great condition. There were also lots of fun things to find in the hotel, such as an arcade room and game room on the 7th floor.
- Having the entire hotel for your party for the weekend was definitely the move. We had the pool to ourselves and all of the facility amenities.
- The views were nuts. I mean, obviously, we were in Little Cottonwood Canyon, but having high rustler in the background is next level
- The spa was very nice, the pool and hot tubs were perfect, the food tasted great, there was shuttle service to Oktoberfest at Snowbird, the lawns and yards were manicured well, I could go on and on.

Bottom line: Book it. It’s worth it.

Magical Mountain Wedding

The Rustler Team went above and beyond in making our wedding day exactly what we envisioned. Having all our guests stay at the Rustler Lodge our entire wedding weekend was amazing and let us have multiple opportunities to chat with all of our guests. All of the Rustler staff was so friendly and extremely accommodating to us during all parts of the weekend. The ceremony lawn and cocktail space was absolutely stunning with the views of Alta in the background. The reception space was intimate and beautifully rustic and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding :)

The Perfect Mountain Wedding

Getting married at The Rustler was truly a dream. We rented the entire lodge for the weekend, which gave us time to really connect with our loved ones in a place that means so much to us.
The staff was incredible—so welcoming, attentive, and truly made us feel at home. Planning was seamless, and the entire weekend felt effortless. From a late-night pool party to cozy moments in the one-of-a-kind après ski bar, every space felt fun, warm, and full of character.
Alta in the summer was stunning. With the natural beauty of the mountains, we hardly needed any decorations beyond flowers—it was already perfect.

Our wedding day was completely stress-free and full of joy. We’ll never forget it, and we’ll always be grateful to The Rustler for giving us the most meaningful weekend of our lives! We highly recommend this venue, and couldn’t imagine a better day.

Alta Rustler Lodge - Dream Wedding

Wedding weekend could not have been more perfect. Attentive staff, beautiful, clean and large rooms, beautiful inside and outside wedding venue, with guests making great use of the pool and hiking in surrounding area. Appetizers were even better than dinner - be sure to order the extraordinarily large charcuterie board and the ahi tuna. Breakfast was delectable, with delectable blueberry pancakes. Wedding liaison Molly Arnold was so easy and flexible to work with both months before as well as during the wedding weekend, and Manager Tom Pollard assured the staff was on top of everything. You only get married once - and this is the once-in-a-lifetime place for your dream wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
