FEATURED JOB OPENING: Innkeeper - Couple - Lucile, ID

Steelhead Lodge - Innkeepers Job Description
Position: On-Site Couple to Manage 9-Room Riverfront Lodge in Lucile, Idaho
Start Date: May 1, 2025 (flexible)

Overview:
The Steelhead Lodge, a recently renovated 9-room lodge on the Salmon River, is seeking an enthusiastic couple with excellent customer service skills to manage all aspects of the property. Enjoy a peaceful and expansive riverfront/mountain environment with an on-site, separate innkeepers' apartment. We are located in the center of world-class fishing, hunting, rafting, and wilderness/mountain activities, just 3.5 hours north of Boise.

Responsibilities:

• Manage reservations and payment platform (Cloudbeds) as well as third-party reservation platforms; it’s mostly integrated and easy to use.
• Clean and prepare guest rooms; this is a significant part of the job, and our standards are very high. Our reviews are outstanding!
• Manage the check-in/out procedures.
• Encourage 5-star reviews. Read and respond promptly to reviews on all platforms.
• Maintain the daily cleanliness of the communal kitchen/lounge.
• Control inventory and order all supplies.
• Perform all laundry operations.
• Ensure the property is safe and secure at all times.
• Perform all seasonal aspects of lawn and grounds maintenance, including mowing, weeding, clearing debris, leafing, washing walkways, and maintaining the gazebo grill pit. Snow removal is not required.
• Monitor the irrigation system, identify minor repairs, and locate water shutoff valves; it’s a straightforward system.
• Troubleshoot minor maintenance issues.
• Hire local tradespeople for any necessary repairs.

Qualifications:

• Commitment to stay for at least one year.

We welcome and encourage your creativity and knowledge implementing changes and improvements to existing systems, operations, reservations, social media, and marketing.

Familiarity with Cloudbeds or a similar reservation platform is a plus, but it’s quick to learn for day-to-day operations.

If you are a carpenter or very handy, there is an opportunity to earn extra income during slower periods by completing projects beyond basic maintenance and minor repairs.

We have hosted several events and weddings 2023-2024 and are interested in planning more.

Compensation:

• Separate 1-bedroom apartment on-site, with all utilities and Starlink internet included.
• $3,500 per month for the couple (1099)
• Tips from guests and events
• Monthly gas compensation for local errands.

Our seasonal flow is predictable. March, April, and May bring several area events and anglers. High season runs roughly from mid-June to August, with minimal time away from the Lodge during this period. Most weekends and many weekdays are fully booked. Late September and all of October are busy with anglers and hunters, particularly on weekends. Our slowest time is mid-December through mid-February, when it’s possible to schedule extended time off.

Other periodic time off can be managed according to the calendar. There is much to enjoy in this part of Idaho and we are very close to the accessible high mountain peaks of the Seven Devils Wilderness, as well as the Snake River Hells Canyon Gorge. There is very good skiing at Brundage Mountain an hour away. Since we are deep in the Salmon River Gorge, the temperatures are warmer and snow is light, although you’ll see snow in the upper elevations all around the property.
