Housekeeper

Kenai River Drifter's Lodge

We are seeking a hardworking and motivated individual to work as a housekeeper at our lodge for the summer season. Our housekeepers keep our cabins and employee lounge sparkling, our breakfast nook stocked, and fill in as backup shuttle drivers. If you love the outdoors and working in a team environment, Drifters Lodge is the place for you this summer!

Room and board is available to employees or a nominal monthly fee. In addition, Drifters employees have many other perks including comped fishing, rafting, hiking, wildlife viewing and much more on the Kenai Peninsula.

Come and experience the Kenai Peninsula – Alaska’s Playground.

What we look for in an employee:

The busy season in Alaska is only a few months long, so there is a lot packed into a short time frame. This means that rooms and cabins at Drifters Lodge will be full every night. We look for hard workers and self starters to get the job done without constant supervision. Attention to detail, a good attitude, being flexible, and being charismatic for our customers is essential. There may be times when we need your help in other areas of the lodge such as shuttle driving and local errands. We count on our employees to rise to the occasion with enthusiasm! Our work schedule is 6 days/week with one day off.
