Couple to Manage Inn and Vineyard in Sunny - Pearce, AZ

We are looking for a couple to manage a 10 room Inn and oversee 10 acres of one year vines. This is an ideal opportunity for a couple with interest in winery in the up and coming area of Southern Arizona. Arizona's climate is ideal for growing grapes and has been the focus of investors and wine enthusiasts. If you're looking for California weather, but not California traffic or prices, welcome to Southern Arizona.

Managing the Inn requires living on site in a large studio apartment, answering the phone, taking reservations, checking people in, coordinating the cleaning, small maintenance and upkeep issues, including mowing around the Inn and washing the laundry. Reservations are easily accessed from any computer. Basic computer skills are a plus. Using a computer is required but also minimal: learning how to enter reservations, collect payment and respond to emails.

Maintaining the organic vineyard requires mowing (we provide the John Deere riding lawn mower), checking soil moistness depth daily, maintaining irrigation, setting out mole traps, application of organic amendments as needed, weeding, reporting issues and possible solutions and ensuring the vines grow healthy and strong.

Looking for the right couple to start the first week of January. This is a permanent, long term position with opportunities to grow with the vineyard.

Gardening, maintenance skills and people skills are a definite plus. 

Monthly compensation for the couple who work as contractors is as follows:

$1800

Option to clean the rooms at a rate of $15/room for a full clean and $5 for a towel and trash mini service.

Large studio apartment is provided with all utilities paid. The comfortably furnished apartment includes: full size refrigerator and stove with electric oven, dining table with four comfortable chairs, queen size bed, private bathroom with bathtub and shower, sofa, rug, large armoir and shelving.
