Bearskin Lodge

Profile Jobs

Our resort guests rely on this employee to help them solve daily maintenance and boat problems. This person regularly checks that heat and water are working in every cabin, that light bulbs and smoke/CO detectors are functioning, and makes sure that our guests are warm and safe. Ability to make small repairs, do occasional vehicle maintenance, and independently solve problems to keep our resort world functioning is very helpful. Everyone at Bearskin cleans cabins when needed, and everyone at Bearskin puts in occasional stints at the front desk, but most of your time in this job will be working independently outside. In the summer, these outdoor tasks include grass mowing and trimming, dock maintenance, canoe rentals and cleaning, caring for outfitting gear, boat maintenance and rentals, and campground care. In the winter, the job includes snow-plowing and snow-blowing, firewood stacking, shoveling, car-starting and miscellaneous winter tasks, in addition to all the other ways this employee helps out. Lots of lifting in this job–you need a strong, healthy back to do it.

Start date and starting wage negotiable. We provide frequent bonuses and raises for long-term employees.

Maintenance skills a big plus for this job, but if you have an aptitude for these skills then we can teach you.

Live on the edge of the BWCA with someone you enjoy, and experience outdoor adventures together.

This is the job that has introduced so many young couples to Grand Marais and given many the foothold that allowed them to begin or buy their Cook County business, or start their permanent "up north" life.

Ideal job candidates who are high energy self-starters are willing to stay awhile and are able to fill the maintenance and housekeeping/front desk positions. Potential management roles in the future for the right people. We try to give couples days off together and similar work hours, although we can't promise it will always work out. This is the dream couples job for the right people. Let's talk and find out if you're the right fit.
