Key Responsibilities

Summer Seasonal & Year-Round Hospitality Staff — Summer 2026

We are currently hiring part-time housekeeping team members to support daily operations during the summer season at our mountain lodge.

Position Overview

Summer brings a different kind of rhythm; more hikers, more sand and dust, and a steady flow of guests coming and going. Your work plays a key role in keeping the lodge clean, comfortable, and welcoming for everyone passing through.

Housekeeping team members are responsible for guest room turnovers, maintaining common areas, and keeping up with the daily laundry flow during a busy summer season.

Guest Rooms

  • Clean and prepare rooms between guest stays

  • Dust, vacuum, restock essentials, and deep clean bathrooms

  • Refresh spaces quickly and thoroughly during peak turnover periods

Common Areas

  • Maintain entryways, mudrooms, and walkways inside the building — sweeping up grit, mopping wet floors, and keeping high-traffic areas safe and tidy

  • Assist with periodic deep cleaning of shared spaces

  • Wash dishes, tidy common rooms, and support operations staff as needed

Laundry

  • Sort, treat, wash, dry, fold, and restock linens and towels

  • Transport laundry between floors (up to 30 lbs per load)

  • Keep laundry areas organized and flowing smoothly to support high summer occupancy/turnover

Additional Details

Schedule & Compensation

  • Typical shifts run between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm, but duration may vary.

  • Flexibility is important, as guest bookings and turnovers can shift with hiker flux as they come off the trail.

  • We’re happy to work with team members on scheduling needs — just keep communication open.

Job Type: Part-time
Pay: Starting at $18.00 per hour
Benefits: PTO accrues at 1 hour per 40 hours worked.
