  ****UPDATE****
  ******IMMEDIATE HELP NEEDED******
  
  We are looking for IMMEDIATE help for 1 Person. ASAP
  
  We are coming into our busy season and looking for help with cleaning rooms, upkeep with lawn maintenance (someone that does not mind using a lawn mower or raking up the yard) plus a few odds and ends.
  Looking for someone energetic and a positive attitude. Someone that enjoys being around people.
  Our weather is getting nice and there is so much to explore so prefer if they have a driver's license since we are a smaller community, and the transit system is not available all the time.
  Would prefer if someone could stay during our busy season but we can work around that
  
  
  Hi our names are Tom and Tammy. We have been married for 13 years. Tom is originally from Down State Mi and I am from Vancouver Island Canada. We are small Mama/Papa Motel with 16 rooms looking for help in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan just off beautiful Lake Michigan. Minutes from hiking, biking, fishing ( Walleye Capital of the World) and lots more outdoor activities. We do have 3 Shih-Tzu's that are our babies. So if you are not a dog lover this would not be a good fit because they love to be petted and spoiled. Plus are rooms are pet friendly. Hourly wage paid.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We have guests from all over the world to come visit our area. They can mingle with the guest and learn their cultural. Depending on the time of year our workawayers will learn how to grow a garden from seeds to harvest. Go to the farmer's markets to taste and see what is locally grown in the area. There is many types of festivals all year round that they can enjoy and meet locals. There is local crafted beer and wine tasting they can experience. If they like to fish Tom has all the gear and will take them fishing in our boat or if it is winter he has all the equipment to go ice fishing. They will learn skills to use and hopefully can use in their next adventure in life.
