Our lodge services fishing and adventure tourism clients during the summer months and will see some hunting client in the fall.  The caretaker will both be working closely with the owner some of the time and at other times the owner(s)/staff will be absent'in the field with clients.  

The scope of the position is flexible and can be a vary depending on the caretakers strengths and commitment. The ideal candidate would: oversee the immediate property, manage/work with 1-2 lodge staff as needed and take care of immediate guest needs (light hosting) as needed. The lodge is a very small operation with normally 4-10 guests and has a very quiet and homey atmosphere, so there is not a high level of complexity and crowds.

We are not looking for a operations director or project manager the job is at its core is care taking, be-it with a much more hands-on approach.  The position can work for both a quit behind the scenes person or a more gregarious and people oriented person, as long as both have some handyman/woman skills and are able to interact with others in both giving and receiving directions very well.

Couples will be considered and all applicants must be prepared to supply references and a background check (if required). For those interested in additional maintenance and projects, we can consider additional pay depending on ability and project performance.  Though we love children and animals, it is not an options for this care taking position.

Only accessible by airplane, this position offers a quiet escape of an off the grid lifestyle, while still offering the amenities and comforts of normal every day life.  The lodge is self functioning and runs off of a generator and solar panels that charge a battery bank for power.

There is limited internet access and local cell phone coverage so you can stay highly connected to family/friends during your stay. Please note, we do have some taxidermied Alaskan species so those who are uncomfortable about this should not apply.  You also must be comfortable being isolated from road side amenities (aware from any town).

Those interested should email us for more details and information.
