Our ages range from 35 to 58. We seek a couple that loves the outdoors, recycling and healthy lifestyle to complete our staff. We are here for the lifestyle, peace, quiet, beauty, outdoor sports.

We seek people with smiles and a “can do” attitude.

If anything needs done, you must be willing to cheerfully take care of it. You will need to be great with people, genuinely happy people with smiles and "can do" attitudes, no smoking, no problem drinkers, happy and willing to work at *any* task, must love animals (we have 6). Only those able to self direct and work independently will be considered. We require self starters able to organize work needing done, present work to us for prioritization, then carry out the work efficiently and quickly.

Actual hours worked may vary according to guest needs (may be a few hours more or less in any given week according to guest and property needs). Although we will try to adhere to a schedule, we need to remain flexible as to actual hours worked. The best example might be if we agreed to a 20 hour week, one week could be 18 hours with the next week being 22 hours (with the goal to provide a 20 hour week if that is what we negotiated). We will strive to meet a schedule but experience has taught us there are variations from week to week. The general hours we work are anywhere from 8am to 9pm (the hours we are open) although most work is done between the hours of 10am-5pm. We work weekends and holidays. Sometimes there are guest tips. Lodge off season is April and early May.

Each of you will be working at separate tasks, not together, most of the time. Although we will make every attempt to schedule you similar hours, it may not always work out. For example, one person may be working on lawns while the other is working at the front desk, housekeeping or laundry.  There may be times one is scheduled to work and the other is not due to occupancy levels.
