WHY DO WE SHOW EXPIRED LISTINGS?
Caretaker Couple Wanted: We are a private, family-oriented hunting and fishing club located in a quiet, rural setting near Comins, Michigan. The property consists of 1,500 diverse, forested acres with three springfed lakes and creeks that run throughout. The club is looking for a motivated Manager/Caretaker couple team to fill two positions and live onsite.
Job description: The property is comprised of a main lodge, three cabins for member’s usage, several out buildings, and a caretaker’s home. One of the available position’s duties include building and equipment maintenance, grounds keeping, light construction, wildlife crop farming, security, snow removal, and other general duties typical for this type of property.
This position requires one to be physically able to work outdoors in all types of weather and on uneven terrain. Candidates must be able to safely operate a tractor, snowplow truck and other equipment including power and hand tools.
The second caretaker position’s duties include guest meal planning, food purchase, food preparation, serving meals to members and guests, as well as the cleaning and upkeep of the lodge and cabins. Candidates must be flexible with work schedules as these are not typical 8-5 jobs and the heaviest club usage is on weekends.
The Ideal Candidates: This caretaker team will have experience in similar situations in working or managing a rural property/club. They must be able to work in unsupervised situations and be able to complete work in a timely manner. The team should have experience operating and maintaining a tractor, plow truck and other equipment, as well as “handyman” and general carpentry skills.

Good communication and interpersonal skills are very important.
These two positions are complete with salary, housing, utilities and other benefits. This is a long-term opportunity for a stable person(s)/couple. Candidates must be eligible to work in the United States, possess a valid driver’s license, have a clean driving record, and be drug free.
