Bring Your Best Friends. Make This Your Season.
Looking for more than just a job? Grab 2–3 friends and spend your season in Southern Utah where your mornings are productive and your afternoons are pure adventure. This is work that funds memories.
Why Here?
We sit between Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, the Grand Canyon, and Dixie National Forest. That means red rock cliffs, cool mountain forests, ATV trails, fishing holes, hiking for days, and some of the clearest stargazing skies you will ever see. Vegas is just four hours away if you need a weekend reset.
Who We Are
We are a fourth-generation family business that started in the 1930s as a tiny gas station serving homemade pie to truckers. Today we operate a full restaurant, gift shop, 9-hole golf course, and a 59-room hotel — and we still run it with the same family pride and straightforward honesty.
The Job: Housekeeping
Start: 8–9 AM | 4–5 hours per day | 5 days per week
You are paid per room (not hourly), so teamwork and efficiency matter. Finish strong in the morning and enjoy your afternoons exploring Southern Utah.
