More about Dairymen's

Established in 1925, Dairymen’s is a family oriented, member owned, private vacation resort located in Boulder Junction, Wisconsin. The spirit of Dairymen’s is found in family and friends, and in the stewardship of the property. Located on a private nature preserve, our commitment is to protect the integrity of the ecosystem while enjoying the pristine beauty and bounty of the Northwoods. 

A Dairymen’s vacation is as unique as it is inspiring.  The 6,700 acres of natural beauty, reflected in seven clear lakes and miles of gravel roads winding through deep woods, is a Northwoods playground.  Forty-seven comfortable guest cabins highlight nature’s beauty through every window.  The two lodges are gathering places for delicious meals, fun and games, or just sitting by a crackling fire.  Dairymen’s is a place where our members reconnect with family and friends in Mother Nature’s splendor.  In today’s fast-paced world, Dairymen’s provides our members and our employees a special place to build a lifetime of memories.

Our primary vacation season extends from May through October, during which time a large staff is needed to support the needs of the Club and enhance the experience of the members.

Working Here

The Employee Experience

Dairymen’s is a very special, friendly place to work and be a part of.  Our members have been vacationing and making memories here for generations.  While they have high standards and expect an elite experience, our members treat our employees like family and will be very curious to hear “your story”.  It is an enriching and fun place to work, a place where memories are made for both our members and our staff.

Located in the heart of the Wisconsin Northwoods, employees will have an authentic Northwoods experience.  From observing wildlife, to the dark skies and starlit nights, to the towering pines, the property is truly pristine and untouched.  There are many opportunities for outdoor recreation on your time off such as hiking, bicycling, golfing, fishing, kayaking, swimming and much more.   

Due to the remote location of the resort and lack of public transportation,  bicycles are provided for staff to use for recreation, a ride into town, or transportation to a second job.  You may also bring your own car and/or bicycle if you'd like.

Ideal Candidate

Ideal candidates should be friendly, outgoing, personable, and thrive in an environment where member satisfaction is the priority.  We are in the hospitality business and are here to enhance our members' experience in a positive manner. 

Due to the location of our Club, candidates should also have a love for the outdoors and the recreational activities that come along with the Northwoods Wilderness.  Staff must be able to work well with others, learn quickly, and follow directions.  You should be focused yet flexible, regimented yet easy-going, serious yet happy.  Attitude is everything! 

Employee Perks

All seasonal employees qualify for a seasonal bonus upon successful completion of their employment contract. 

Many of the Club amenities are available for staff use as long as it does not interfere with members.  Staff can go hiking, biking, fishing, use kayaks and paddleboards, or play tennis, basketball, or golf just to name a few.  There is also a staff fitness room adjacent to employee housing. 

Bicycles are provided for travel into Boulder Junction (about a 20-minute ride), to use on the property, or even the paved bicycle trails off property.  Vilas County has an extensive system of paved bike trails. 

Weekly transportation is provided for shopping in Minocqua for those needing to pick up supplies.

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is just north of Dairymen's and Boulder Junction, and provides many additional opportunities for outdoor recreation.  One can visit places like the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, Bond Falls, drive the Black River National Scenic Byway, visiting many waterfalls along the way, or just spend a couple of hours on the shores of Lake Superior.
