Ideal Candidate

We are looking for warm, welcoming, respectful and professional people to fill an array of jobs.  We have positions where you will be working the front-lines with our guests or back-of-the-house positions supporting your fellow team members.  We strive to create relaxed and rejuvenating vacation experiences for our guests and lifelong friends and life-long memories for our employees.  Prior experience is not the most important thing, we are looking for people with a ready smile, a spirit of adventure, and a commitment to providing a once in a lifetime experience every time.  

Room and Board

We have a limited amount of company subsidized employee housing. Preference for available housing is given to those working full-season dates. Rent in company housing is $15/day, which includes all utilities. Employee housing is furnished with all necessities including beds, pillows, linens, towels, and housewares. Company housing is 2-bedroom apartments, based on 2 or 3 people sharing a room and up to 5 people per apartment. 

Drugs, smoking or vaping of any kind, underage alcohol consumption, and animals are not allowed in employee housing under any circumstances.


Self-Secured Housing: Renting an apartment, a room, or a cabin in Fairbanks is a great option for those who cannot be accommodated in employee housing. Many employees get together to rent an apartment or house to share. We encourage those relocating to investigate personal accommodations as soon as possible, as space availability comes and goes quickly within the local rental market.

Most employees coming from out-of-state fly into the Fairbanks International Airport. The main airline carriers that fly into FAI are Alaska Airlines and Delta Airlines, although several other carriers have summer seasonal flights.

How do people get around Fairbanks?

Most local people drive cars or take the public busses. The city has an area of 32.7 square miles, so getting around on foot or by bike can take some time! Many of our out of state employees that don’t bring cars choose to ride bikes or walk to work. Taxi’s, Uber, and Lyft are also available in the city. There are many places to purchase a new or used bike once you arrive in Fairbanks.

What kind of shopping is available locally?

Local Fairbanks restaurants and breweries can be found throughout the city, with a few chain restaurants and fast-food options.

For Fun

Outdoor and indoor entertainment

Living in Fairbanks, you are surrounded by the forest, hills, rivers, and lakes, so it is an ideal area for those who enjoy the outdoors. You can easily access walking and hiking trails from within the city, and just shortly outside of the city. Approximately 60 miles northeast of central Fairbanks you’ll find Chena Hot Springs Resort. Just 15 miles southeast, you’ll find the charming town of North Pole, where you can visit Santa Claus and his reindeer any day of the year! On June 21st, the Summer Solstice, Fairbanks celebrates 24 hours of daylight with a downtown block party full of local vendors and street performances.  In addition, Fairbanks has many different indoor activities available. There are several choices of bars and restaurants (often featuring live music), as well as an indoor recreation center (The Alaska Club) with a trampoline park, weights, aerobics classes, cardio machines, and basketball court.
