SUMMARY

This role centers around housekeeping but other duties such as front desk, laundry, and property care will be included in a typical work week. Thomsonite is a small, 11 unit inn on the shore of Lake Superior, located just 6 miles west of downtown Grand Marais, MN and 11 miles east of Lutsen, MN. We are in the heart of all the North Shore has to offer: hiking, waterfalls, bike trails, beaches, and camping to name a few. As part of Bluefin Bay Family of Resorts, our employees get to take part in free staff activities such as sea kayaking, fishing, guided hikes and more. We are a small team consisting of 2 managers and 1-2 employees in the busy season, working closely together every day. We all play a part in daily operations, to provide our guests a memorable North Shore experience, jumping in wherever needed. On less busy days, throughout the season, we’re happy to offer flexible scheduling and hours so you can truly enjoy this beautiful area. You only need to take a few steps out your door to see the ever-changing Lake Superior, view the northern lights, or even spot wandering wildlife. This is a great opportunity to live on the North Shore and learn the ins and outs of resort operations on a smaller scale!
