Click here for 2024 Job Openings

Are you looking for a job where you can inspire others and make an impact? We seek exceptional individuals to help us provide a warm, caring, safe, and stress-free environment for our guests. Our employees are important to us and become part of the family. We strive for excellence and the best service in the industry, so we look for employees with the same qualities. If you are a self-proclaimed slacker, stop reading now. However, if you are a self-motivated, high-energy, problem-solving person with a passion for the outdoors and people, we would like to hear from you!

We average around 20 guests per week at the Ranch and 8-10 guests on the pack trips. Our size allows us to give each guest special attention. Often our guests say that this was the best vacation they have ever had, and it is our goal that this is true for every guest. To ensure that goal, we seek mature employees, outgoing individuals with excellent work ethics, good moral character, and excellent communication skills. We expect a ready smile, willingness to work hard and have fun, integrity, and a love of the outdoors and people. This requires a self-starting individual with physical stamina to put in long hours and hard work. All employees must be organized, willing to take initiative, and have a “can do” attitude.

Working at a guest ranch can be hard work, but it’s also a lot of fun. You’ll meet new people from all over the world and see beautiful, pristine country. During your time off, you can ride, fish, hike, and explore the surrounding area. A ranch job is not for everyone, but it is a job that will have many lasting friendships and memories. 

We begin the hiring process in January for each upcoming season. Positions are seasonal, arriving in early to mid-May and departing in late August through the first week of October.  If you must leave before the 3rd week of August, please do not apply!  Our ranch season runs through September so some positions are only available to employees who can stay through the entire season.  Hunting season employment is through mid-to-late November.

As with most dude ranches, we compensate you in several ways. You will receive full room and board and monetary compensation. Meals and housing are provided at no cost. Working and living together on a 24-hour basis is not always easy and requires that certain policies be observed out of respect for the guest, other employees, and our family. Because of our rural location, having your vehicle for use on days off is highly recommended. Housing is smoke-free, bunkhouse style, not co-ed; we do not have housing for families or couples and do not allow pets or personal horses. Must be at least 18 years of age and legally eligible to work in the US.

The atmosphere at the Ranch is western. Our guests expect to see cowboys and cowgirls, so your appearance needs to reflect this. Good social skills, morals, table manners, and a neat and clean appearance are necessary.   

We require our staff to have a current First Aid/CPR card (Basic Life Saving for Adults and Children) before beginning employment. We provide specific first aid/emergency scenario training for each position.     

Job placement is determined by the abilities and past job experience of each applicant. All of our employees must have a teamwork attitude and help wherever needed regardless of job title. We will provide on-the-job training when and where it is needed.

If you would like to apply for a specific position, please let us know your qualifications and experience for the position. We receive many requests for employment, especially to work with horses, so if interested in joining our team, please be specific. Video is appreciated if you are seeking wrangler positions.
