Hello! We are looking for people to help with cleaning our cabins, a cook and helping around the lodge. We are also looking for a handy person who can use a chainsaw and help build and repair cabins. We look forward to hearing from you.
We are looking for a talented wood chainsaw carver(S), carpenter with experience building log cabins. Your talents creating saddle notch corners and helping us build an extension to our current lodge. If you don't have specific saddle notch chainsaw experience, but talented with the chainsaw, you will become an expert by the time our project is finished. We are open to a couple or two friends, one can help with the sanding of our 20 inch thick fir logs. There are lots, but the view to work from is stunning! Snow peaked mountains reflecting on the light glacial waters of Eagle Lake and the air is as fresh as can be, not to mention the great fishing.
An added bonus, but not mandatory. If you have any wood chainsaw carving experience specialized in grizzly bear carvings and other animals such as the wolf, eagle, etc. Each of our cabins require someone's art to really make them unique and special. We have a mill not far from us with fir wood available. We are looking for a talented artist looking to share his/her vision on making our lodge a gallery of wood carvings as they walk around the property. We are offering paid work for this position and a write up about you and your work available to everyone to see in our art gallery, Please send your profile and photos of samples of your work.
