Join our small team at High Country Motel and Cabins, located just a few miles from Yellowstone National Park. This is a varied position combining guest services, retail work, reservations, and housekeeping.

A few days or evenings each week, you will work in our store selling groceries, gifts, snacks, and other essentials. Duties include helping customers, operating the register, stocking and organizing merchandise, answering the phone, taking reservations, answering guest questions, and checking guests into our motel rooms and cabins.

On other days, you will help clean and prepare motel rooms and cabins for arriving guests. Housekeeping is completed as a team, so no one is expected to handle the entire property alone.

We are looking for someone dependable, friendly, hardworking, organized, and comfortable helping wherever needed. The ideal candidate enjoys the outdoors, can handle busy summer days, communicates well, stays away from workplace drama, and is comfortable living in a very small and remote mountain community.

Free employee housing is provided on the property in either a remodeled older Airstream or a newer Coleman camper. Employees are responsible only for their own propane for heating and cooking. Employees also receive a 15% discount on food and eligible store purchases, including alcohol for employees who are legally permitted to purchase it.
