The new management of Enota Mountain Retreat is seeking spiritual applicants who understand the value of revitalizing humanity's relationship with nature. Our gorgeous resort property is former Cherokee land, uniquely nestled in the middle of 750,000 acres of National Forest, and is comprised of 60-acres that boast 5-large energetic streams, 4-waterfalls, 2-ponds, organic crops, multiple cabins, meeting facilities, playgrounds, tent/rv sites, and a working farm with miniature horses, cows, pigs, chicks, rabbits, & goats.

We are in the process of rejuvinating what was once ranked one of the top nature resort areas in the Southeast, and currently welcoming couples who would like to live on property (be it within our staff residences or your own RV or camping gear) and be part of this exciting undertaking. We are seeking applicants without major addictions who have some experience in housekeeping, front-desk, advertising, maintenance, farming, animal care, construction, machinery repair, plumbing, electrical, etc. (Yes, we have roles for virtually any skills.)

As a non-profit/nature conservancy, we often exchange volunteer hours for residency, and then pay our staff beyond those hours that cover residency (often referred to as the Work Camper program.) New staff members are immediately accommodated, and need not worry about first/last month rent, internet, laundry, power, water, sewer, etc. Straight hourly rates available for locals as well.

We are seeking honest couples to join our small staff family, without addictions, who wish to help us rejuvinate and provide a beautiful nature refuge to all who seek nature, healing, and good health.
