FEATURED JOB OPENING: Live & Work in Texas Wine Country – Boutique Hotel Manager Couple Wanted - Fredericksburg, TX

How about a job located in the beautiful Texas Hill Country along the famous 290 Wine Trail?  Recently renovated, small, boutique motel is seeking a dynamic couple to be a key part of our team.  The motel consists of 3 acres in Stonewall, TX, which sits in the middle of what has become known as the Hwy 290 Wine Trail (we are about 10 min away from the charming hub of the area, Fredericksburg).  Built in 1963, it's a classic L shaped motel with 12 rooms, 4 cabins, and 4 RV spots.  We've been featured in The NY Times, Conde Nast, The Today Show, Magnolia TV "ReMotel" episode, Texas Monthly, Texas Highways Magazine, USA Today "Top 10" and numerous other blogs and articles. 

The area has been called the "New Napa Valley" with over 100 established wineries within a 20 mile radius.  We are located about 45 min north of San Antonio and west of Austin, the area is now one of the main tourist destinations in Texas (and also a sought after place to live in general) with close to 2M visitors annually.

Our new managers will be obsessive about two things.  First, that our guests have a great experience. You must be friendly, outgoing, willing to provide recommendations, solve guest issues immediately, and be focused on guests feeling welcome and at home.  Second, you must be singularly focused on cleanliness, presentation and maintaining the property at all times.  While we are a traditional roadside motel, we have a higher end clientele here to enjoy the wineries and so require a certain level of service and experience.

You are outgoing, responsible, experienced, and versatile in managing the day to day operations.  We are a small hotel, so you are the team to do it all.  Both partners will be required to work the hotel full time with outside jobs subject to approval by management.  Ability to hire part time help as required.  Your responsibilities include all housekeeping (cleaning, laundry), maintenance, guest check in, and needs resolution as needed. 

We leverage technology as much as possible with self-checkin and online booking, but you'll have some guest reservation and check-in activities.  You'll be responsible for maintaining and cleaning the grounds as well as the public areas and handling any minor repair issues. 

You will work closely with the General Partner on recommended pricing, marketing recommendations, social media and other needs as you'll be located in the area full time (we are located in San Antonio).  Our ideal candidates have strong experience in various areas managing a small motel or B&B, are tech savvy, detail oriented and non-smokers.  We strongly prefer candidates with no pets or children. 

Accommodations are provided as part of your salary.  There is a one bedroom apartment with a nice back fenced area/patio.  The apartment comes mostly furnished.  All utilities included.

Our current managers are leaving us after a short 6 months to relocate to a cooler climate due to recent personal changes that do not align with the hot Texas heat.  Our prior managers were with us close to 4 years.  

Please apply only if all of these apply to you…

• You can start by May 1 or soon thereafter
• You can work independently and don't need a ton of oversight once trained
• You have a strong work ethic
• You will do what is needed to make the motel successful and don’t feel that anything is beneath you
• You are proactive and don’t wait for someone to ask you to do something
• You share the workload equally, with one not overburdened with tasks so as to burn out.  You both commit to working the hotel while employed.
• We work hard, but in return, you’ll call the beautiful Hill Country home, have a furnished, newly renovated apartment with utilities paid, and a competitive salary.  Health benefits are possible.  While you will live onsite, you will also have a flexible schedule as we are mainly a weekend destination.

We are looking for a start date of May 1.

Please visit our website for property info. 

Google Texas Hill Country, Fredericksburg Texas, Hwy 290 Wine Trail for more info on the area. 

Note:  Please send resume or list of experience, along with salary requirements prior to any phone calls.  The motel phone is not answered by the hiring manager.
