Trail Lake Lodge

If you have not lived or worked in Alaska before, you will find the experience, the landscape and the new personal relationships you establish to be very unique and rewarding. The summer months bring thousands of vacationing tourists from all over the United States and the world to this region each year. Tourism is our core business. Many visitors from outside of Alaska will agree that once you have visited Alaska, you never mentally go all the way back home. A part of your Alaska experience will stay with you for a lifetime.

Although absolutely beautiful, working in Alaska may not be for everyone. If you are looking for a unique experience, working for and around employers and employees who truly care about you, enjoy working in a rural lakeside and mountainous setting 30 miles from the next larger town, thrive on outdoor activities such as hiking numerous nearby trails, canoeing, fishing, animal viewing or nature photography to name a few during your time off, and you consider yourself a true team player who is willing to give whatever necessary of yourself to accomplish the objectives of the business, then this opportunity may be just what you are looking for.

Room and Board

Private and semi-private housing is available on Trail Lake Lodge premises. Employee residence rooms are laid out essentially dormitory style, with a common hallway, common sitting area and shared bathrooms (one Male and one Female). Each room has either one double bed or two twin-size beds, a color television and a desk. Employees are provided towels and bed linens upon start of employment, but are expected to do their own laundry. Shared laundry facilities are also provided at no cost to the employee. We also have wifi if you bring your laptop.

Cost: The daily rent for employees in Employee Housing is $7.00 per day for semi-private rooms, and $8.00 per day for a private room (if available). Please note that private rooms may not always be available. This amount will be automatically deducted from your bi-weekly payroll check. Once you have signed a standard authorization form, an automatic deduction from your paycheck will occur.

There is a full kitchen, including microwave oven, within the Employee Housing building which is shared by employees living in the employee residence area. This facility gives our employees the choice of either preparing their own meals or eating in the restaurant at a discount to menu pricing. This kitchen is for use by Trail Lake Lodge employees only. Please see our website for details on discounts we offer to employees in our restaurant.

Perks

The basic workweek at our facility is considered to be 40 hours. However, this is not a guarantee of hours. The work schedule may change as business conditions change. You will be paid by check every other Friday (semi-monthly) for work performed the previous two weeks. Hourly pay rates range from $7.75 - $10.00 per hour depending upon your position.

Getting Here and Getting Around

Most of our employees travel to Alaska from somewhere in the lower 48 States and typically arrive by major airlines into Anchorage, 95 miles north of Moose Pass. Therefore, most of our employees do not have an automobile at their disposal while working in Moose Pass.

If you do have a car, Seward, Alaska is a beautiful 30 mile drive south from our location. Cooper Landing, Alaska is 17 miles to our West. Both of these communities are very tourist-oriented and offer much to do in the way of recreation. Employees needing an occasional change will find typical restaurants, bars, a movie theater, larger grocery stores, guided outdoor activities and clubs in each of these towns.

Other options often used by employees include bike riding, hitch-hiking (not encouraged by Lodge management), and sharing rides with co-workers and friends they have made in Moose Pass.

Applicants successfully completing the recruitment process are required to provide their own transportation to and from Anchorage, Alaska if coming in from out of state. You should verify your ability to secure this transportation, along with available dates of arrival & departure before submitting your application to us. We will provide the necessary round trip travel arrangements from Anchorage to Moose Pass once we know your travel itinerary.

For Fun

Recreational activities include hiking numerous nearby trails, canoeing, fishing, animal viewing or nature photography to name a few.
