Other Things to Expect

Participating in our Unreasonable Hospitality Program - We like to go above and beyond in making memorable life moments happen for our guests. It is fun to see what everyone comes up with each week!

Helping in other departments (like dishes or helping the barn with shuttles) because everyone helps each other here. The people who have the best summers at our ranch are the ones who get to know the folks and duties in the other departments because they not only make new friends, but also learn to appreciate the hard work everyone is doing.

Yes, you get 2 days off a week here because we definitely value ME time! Sometimes, though, we may need someone to come in on their day off for some extra help if a fellow teammate is sick or the barn needs help with lead lining on our busy weeks. Extra hours are almost always available for our folks who prefer the 6-7 day work week.

Working one night a week doing things like running karaoke, bar backing, campfire, roping, serving wine dinner, or dishes.

Attending ranch meetings and training sessions so we can improve communication and you are prepared to be a successful team member here.

Doing assigned employee housing chores in your free time because it is your home for the summer and it “magically” gets messy. This is another key way to have a great summer and be successful here… being a kind and courteous roommate!
