Sundance Trail Ranch
The cabin tells the truth before the host does.
When a guest walks into their cabin after a long travel day, the first thing they do is look around. What they see tells them whether we mean what we say. As Head of Housekeeping, you don’t just clean to that standard — you own it, teach it, and hold it across every cabin on this ranch.
Sundance Trail Ranch is Colorado’s smallest dude ranch — 24 guests max, 8,000 feet up, with 800,000+ acres of Roosevelt National Forest at the gate. Small team, no hierarchy theatre, and the whole crew eats with guests at the long table. No back-of-house culture here — housekeeping isn’t invisible work at STR. It’s the first impression of everything we promise. And you’ll lead it.
What’s in it for you:
💰 $18–$20/hr + tip pool shared across the team
🏠 Live-in: private on-site housing + three meals a day — the same food our guests eat, all free. Your overhead drops to nearly zero, so almost every dollar you earn stays yours.
🗓 Year-round, full-time — not a seasonal gig that ends when the aspens turn
🏔 Full ranch life on your days off — riding, hiking, jacuzzi, mountains in every direction
📈 Real leadership — you set the standard, build the systems, and train the seasonal crew that holds them
What you’ll do: Own the cleanliness standard across every cabin, lodge room, and shared space. Lead turnovers hands-on alongside the team, run the daily refresh rhythm, own supplies and ordering so nothing runs out mid-season, flag maintenance before guests notice, and train the seasonal crew so the standard survives busy weeks. Plus dishes and kitchen resets with the rest of the crew — one standard, everywhere.
Who you are: You take fierce pride in a room someone else will sleep in. You’ve led housekeeping or cleaning work before — or you’ve been the one others copied. You move fast without cutting corners, work solo for hours and stay warm when guests cross your path, and you’re reliable, altitude-ready, and happy to flex wherever the day needs you.
