For nature lovers, there's a pristine mountain stream and waterfall right beside the lodge and great hiking in the mountains and valleys.

Primary duties related to making up rooms, keeping the lodge clean, helping with breakfast. There will be times when we don't have a lot of guests and there's plenty of other jobs around the lodge.
