The Lodge is a very special place to our family, and our staff a critical piece of the experience. Typically, the individual in this position works 40-60 hours a week for a total of 8-10 weeks. This position works in tandem with the outside caretaker position. This position also works with a family point person who acts as a sounding board for menu ideas, staffing questions, etc… The successful candidate will be creative and organized, have a sense of humor and fun, and be able to work well with people.
Trained as chef with experience and references for preparing food and working with other staff.
