Are you looking for your next seasonal adventure but dread the thought of shared dorm rooms? At Wickiup Cabins, we offer the perfect blend of rewarding work and peaceful, independent living. Nestled along the beautiful Spearfish Creek in Spearfish Canyon near Lead, South Dakota, our historic cabins provide guests with an unforgettable mountain escape—and we want you to help us keep that magic alive. If you love the outdoors, take pride in a job well done, and value having your own quiet sanctuary at the end of the day, we’d love to welcome you to our team.
The Details
What You'll Do (The Position): As a Housekeeping & Laundry Specialist, you’ll be the backbone of our guest experience. Responsibilities include preparing our historic cabins for incoming adventurers, managing laundry services, ensuring high standards of cleanliness, and offering friendly hospitality to our guests.
Who We Are & Culture (Who): We are a small, tight-knit, and supportive team operating Wickiup Cabins. Because we keep our staff numbers very small, this role is best suited for independent workers who truly enjoy quiet evenings and a peaceful atmosphere rather than a bustling, high-density employee social scene. We treat our staff like family and deeply respect your personal time.
Where You'll Live (Room & Board): Skip the dorms! We provide a personal 24ft fifth-wheel camper equipped with air conditioning. Situated along Spearfish Creek giving you your own comfortable, private creek-side space to unwind after a productive day. Please note that meals are not included, so you'll have the independence to prep your own food just the way you like it.
When (Season & Dates): This is a seasonal position starting July 25, 2026, and running through October 15, 2026. You will always get 2 days off each week to explore, though please note they may not always be consecutive days.
Why Join Us? We offer competitive pay ranging from $18 to $22 per hour. Beyond the paycheck, you’ll have immediate access to world-class hiking, fishing, and exploring in the Black Hills right outside your front door.
Transportation: None provided.
