Join Our Housekeeping Team at Doe Bay Resort

At Doe Bay Resort, our housekeeping team plays a vital role in creating a clean, comfortable, and welcoming experience for every guest. We’re looking for hardworking, detail-oriented individuals who take pride in their work and enjoy being part of a supportive, high-energy team.

This is a fast-paced, physically active role set on our beautiful 36-acre property. If you love working outdoors, don’t mind Washington weather, and enjoy staying active throughout the day, you’ll fit right in.

What You’ll Do

  • Clean cabins, yurts, and domes thoroughly and efficiently

  • Make beds, change linens, and run laundry

  • Clean kitchens and bathrooms (toilets, showers, mirrors, chrome, etc.)

  • Dust, vacuum, mop, and wash dishes

  • Use eco-friendly cleaning products

  • Communicate with teammates via shortwave radios

Our units are spread across dirt and gravel paths (no sidewalks), so there is plenty of walking between buildings. We provide a golf cart for transporting supplies, but you should expect an active workday.

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong attention to detail

  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team

  • Positive attitude and strong work ethic

  • Ability to lift 25 lbs

  • Appreciation for nature and the outdoors

Schedule & Expectations

  • Full-time: 35–40 hours per week

  • Five 7–8 hour shifts per week

  • Open availability required

  • Limited time off during July–August (peak season), except for pre-approved requests or emergencies

Perks

  • Supportive, inspiring team environment

  • Medical benefits provided for year round workers

  • Paid time off after 6 months of employment

  • Onsite work — no wear and tear on your vehicle

  • Potential for onsite housing: private studio cabins (shared bath/kitchen), or trailers starting at $200/month

  • Free campsite housing options available during the summer months in 10x10 canvas tents with bed, loveseat and other amenities

If you take pride in creating beautiful spaces and want to work in one of the most unique settings in Washington, we’d love to hear from you.
