Alaska Adventure Lodge Seeks Hard-Working Employees for Summer 2024
Stillpoint Lodge offers guests a unique combination of nature experiences, adventure, leisure and wellness activities... on the edge of the wilderness. Just a short trip across breathtaking Kachemak Bay unveils our rustic yet refined boutique resort lodge nestled by the sea... the majestic, fairytale-like village of Halibut Cove is Alaska's premier destination for discerning travelers.
Halibut Cove, near Homer, Alaska, is a seaside village away from the road system and accessible only by boat or float plane. Stillpoint is separated by water from the rest of this island community. Just a 5-minute kayak paddle to the island offers recreation, coffee shop, post office, galleries, etc. A 45-minute kayak paddle lends access to Kachemak Bay State Park.
About Stillpoint Lodge
Stillpoint Lodge is an all-inclusive, boutique resort lodge, perfectly suited for small group events and multi-generational families, offering a unique combination of adventure, wildlife, and wellness. We promote recreation, responsibility, and sustainability in harmony with nature and our community. Guests feel safe and inspired by our facilities, location and professional staff, and they return home revitalized and transformed.
Our staff members are open-minded professionals, energetic, creative and outgoing. We attract people who love being in Alaska and are eager to devote their entire summer to our mission.
"We provide an uplifting experience and a place to reconnect with nature and ourselves."
The Employee Experience
Hospitality and sustainability are our two areas of primary focus, and we stay busy. 24 hours of daylight lends itself to working hard and playing hard, and our guests are high-energy and full throttle. The realities of a short summer season mean that staff must be able to tolerate and endure 60 hours of extended seasonal work and stay energized and positive.
Although each person specializes in a specific position, at times all are asked to help with housekeeping, gardening, groundskeeping, and kitchen duties including serving meals and dishwashing. To enhance our spirit of camaraderie, gratuities are pooled and divided among the staff.
Step out the door of your staff cabin into wild Alaska. Every day is an adventure and conservation is essential to our success. Sharing this gift with our guests is our greatest goal. Previous experience working in Alaska and familiarity with hospitality services is a definite plus.
