Housekeeper

The concept that “you never get a second chance to make a first impression” is tried and true and makes the position of housekeeping one of the most important jobs on the ranch. The first time a guest checks in at the lodge or walks into their room to unpack for their vacation, it is that first impression that will set the tone for their entire stay. It is not an easy job but it is the very core of success in the hospitality business.

Our housekeepers must have great attention to detail, good social skills, and enjoy working in a team environment. Responsibilities will include daily cleanliness of guest rooms, common areas, and all guest buildings, and evening turndown service. When guest room duties are finished, housekeepers will be expected to help in other areas of the ranch including keeping the grounds attractive, childcare, or other areas of need. Housing and meals are built into your contract, as well as an end of season performance bonus!

About the Ranch

The 4UR Ranch is one of the oldest resorts in the State of Colorado and has been welcoming guests for over 140 years. The 3500-acre ranch has natural hot springs, 6 miles of private fly fishing, thousands of acres of mountain access, a herd of 55 horses, a geothermal outdoor pool, a new fitness room, and a Le Cordon Bleu trained chef; the guest amenities are exceptional. And if you’re hired as part of our team, you will have opportunities to take advantage of these as well, making the 4UR Ranch way more than just another Colorado Summer job.

Company Culture 

At the 4UR Ranch, we put an emphasis on teamwork, trust and commitment in the workplace.  We view all members of our team as family and treat each other how we want to be treated.  The pace of work can be fast and challenging at times but the reward is always worth it.  During off time, staff has access to everything out guests enjoy from fly fishing, horseback riding, shooting sports, the hot springs and more.  Additionally, the beauty of the ranch is further enhanced when spending time around the surrounding area.  Around the area are attractions such as The Great Sand Dunes National Park, Lake San Cristobal, the towns of Durango and Pagosa and much more.  Furthermore, the area is a hot spot for many folk, country and bluegrass festivals throughout the summer and also features Colorado's oldest pro rodeo.  The 4UR provides an amazing work experience but also provides a great life experience enhanced by the wonderful people with who, you will form lifelong connections.
