To give you an idea of what life is like at our retreat as a member I will tell you what I did on my first day as a summer intern. I started out the morning in the hot tub with the owner, Heather, training me on phone etiquette as we siphoned out dirt. Later, I played videographer for a small wedding on the grounds, and finally I finished out the day sitting behind the wheel of a '73 Mercedes as the fix-it-man, Jay, towed me down the street by the moonlight. No two days are ever the same; the only constant being the endless stream of energy flowing in and out of the front doors. Always on the move, you must be adaptable with an ever-present easy smile and good humor.
You will be mentored by brilliant minds and giving hearts at a highly unconventional social venture. Constantly brushing shoulders with fascinating people, each with a diverse skill set to share under the umbrella of a revolving door of movers and shakers (colorful guests at the retreat from fortune 500 CEOs to cyber attorneys; from grade school sweethearts celebrating their 60th anniversary to national geographic penguin photographers). This is not a place that hosts your cookie cutter, standardized guest; in fact nothing is standard about this place except exceptional service and adventure.
This internship is a lifestyle, not for someone looking to punch a clock, but for someone who is invested in what our retreat stands for - building relationships by creating a welcoming space for guests. All activities stem from this mission. The lines between work and personal become blurred, and you may be asking yourself if mushroom hunting, cherry drying, trail blazing, or sharing pizza and wine with guests is work or pleasure. We like it when it's both. A certain richness and uniqueness comes with such an arrangement.While we understand that this internship is not for everyone, for some it is everything you could want in a job and in a home but did not know could exist together.

Constantly brushing shoulders with fascinating people ( new Workawayers, inn keepers, family members, interns) each with a diverse skill set to share under the umbrella of a revolving door of movers and shakers (colorful guests at the retreat from fortune 500 CEOs to cyber attornies; from gradeschool sweethearts celebrating their 60th anniversary to national geographic penguin photographers). This is not a place that hosts your cookie cutter, standardized guest; in fact nothing is standard about this place except exceptional service and adventure.
This work trade is not for someone looking to punch a clock, but for someone who is invested in what we stands for - building relationships by creating a welcoming space for guests. All activities stem from this mission. The lines between work and personal become blurred, and you may be asking yourself if stimulating conversation, trail blazing, or sharing pizza and wine with guests is work or pleasure. We like it when it's both.

We need someone who can fill in the gaps when and wherever needed. Someone who embraces flexibility and diversity of tasks, with a personable and outgoing demeanor. Some days may be spent helping out in the garden, visiting with guests, setting up for an event, occasional days will be spent full-on cleaning, helping to get the retreat ready for a full house rental - you never know the day will have in store! The owners of the retreat also own two veterinary clinics and manage house rentals which can always use helping hands. We love to take interns and volunteers along for the adventure of traveling to different locations such as North Dakota or Butte as extras helping hands.
In this very unconventional setting, we need someone who is a great team player who can get along well, living and working alongside the team. At the same time, there may be plenty of time spent working alone, so the person seeking this position must be able to enjoy their own company and manage themselves. We live and breathe customer service here. There are always guests in the space, and we value personable relationships with them and strive to make them feel at home, so you MUST be a people person - and if you are, you will LOVE it here!
