Caretakers - Small Retreat Center Camp - Great Cacapon, WV

We are looking for an energetic couple to help with our nature-based business - a small, family-owned eco retreat center located in the eastern panhandle of WV. Three Otters is a gorgeous 14 acre property with a quarter mile on the Potomac River, an organic garden, a 1 acre ball field, and a range of community gathering spaces and eclectic lodging options.

Here's what we are looking for: an open minded, all peoples loving, RVing (preferable. but not a deal breaker), adventurous, handy, hard-working couple that cares deeply for nature, has an interest in sustainability (e.g., organic gardening). Here's what we need help with: gearing up for and running the 2017 season (April-October - give or take) - tasks include help w grounds, garden, housekeeping, handyman/woman projects, greeting guests, planning events, running float trips, and/or cooking. We are looking for a couple to tag team with us to create a warm, welcoming, pleasant win-win scenario for everyone who visits, volunteers, or works at Three Otters. 

Here's what you need to know. Sorry, no children. Pets are welcome as long as they are GREAT with other pets and with people. We prefer hosting a couple that has their own RV (we will provide water, electric and a dump station). Three Otters is remote, located 30 min from the nearest town. While we have a landline, cellphone access is spotty and we do not have internet access (though we are working on it!). We do have a small cabin that you can visit on your days off and it has internet. Finally, the last few miles into the property are on an old, narrow bumpy railroad bed, so if you have a great big, beautiful RV, you will NOT want to trek to Three Otters.

Compensation: You will have a free place to stay in a beautiful setting with access to some lovely amenities. You will also have access to a small cabin where you can stay on your days off and catch up online. In addition, you can enjoy free and fresh organic produce. That said, Three Otters is labor intensive and with your help we can improve and expand the business. We will provide a stipend ($10-14 per hour) depending on your level of experience.
