We are also a beautiful location for weddings, family reunions and business retreats!  We sometimes have live music outside and plan to do outdoor movie nights this summer!

Our Lodge has 8 bedrooms with Queen beds and a country store that sells various items such as Ice, snacks, drinks, T-shirts, and other items campers often forget!

Qualities we are looking for……

~Kind and welcoming, with an enthusiastic and outgoing personality:

AVR is a very family friendly laidback ranch with lots of visitors throughout the day.  People come here to get away from the hustle and bustle of their daily lives and kick back.  Our guests love to hear about the property and visit with us.  You must be comfortable and open to having conversations with adults and children, willing to “shoot the breeze” with our guests and be forward enough in a kind way to help people follow the rules of the ranch so they don’t get hurt or damage our property!

~Hard working, honest and loyal:

We are very driven, hard working people.  My husband and I both hold full time jobs and work the ranch, in addition to raising our children all summer, so to say the least, we don’t sit still much.  Our family lives on the land, and this property is not only our family business but also our home.  We need to find a couple of people that are not only willing to get their hands dirty and work hard, but will stop what they are doing to help a guest without a grunt!

~Able to manage multiple responsibilities during the day

On a weekend day a typical day might be filled with making coffee, tidying up the lodge from the night before, cleaning the bar, changing beds in the Lodge and a couple of Tipis for new guests, checking new guests in, sweeping the Lodge patio, sitting on the porch with a backpacker and bartending on and off in the evening.

We need people who can go back and forth between these jobs all day long, and won’t be bothered by frequent interruptions by guests!

~Clean and organized with attention to detail

We hope to find the kind of people that will take a sense of personal accountability for this beautiful ranch.  If you see a piece of trash on the ground, pick it up!  If there is a spill on the coffee counter when you walk by, clean it up!  If you use the restroom and notice the toilet paper is low or the soap container is almost empty, fix it!  We expect the Lodge to be cleaned every morning and throughout the day!  If it was a particularly busy night in the bar and the lodge, we will do a walk through and tidy up at night with a more detailed clean first thing in the morning.

~Must love the outdoors!

This I would hope should be obvious!  Our ranch is one of the most gorgeous nuggets up in the Colorado Rockies!  We are a sanctuary to many types of wildlife such as deer, fox, moose, and even bears. We have a lake for fishing and hiking trails on our property that run along the river.  While our lodge is a really cozy place to be, you will be outside a large portion of the time. 

~Clean minds and bodies

No drug use please!  Minimal alcohol use please!
We don’t want to have to remind people to take a shower or put clean clothing on.
We are laid back here, but this is a job and we are working with the public and expect our employees to be clean and tidy!
