Room and board are available for a low monthly fee, which includes a fully stocked employee kitchen, and dinners made by our chef nightly. You'll also have access to a vehicle on your day off to explore. In the height of fishing season our days start very early and they end late due to the 20+ hours of daylight. The season runs from Mid-May to Mid-September, though there is some flexibility for start and end dates.
