Housekeeper, Hospitality ​/ Hotel ​/ Catering

Season:
May 10 – September 10, 2027

Location:

Shoshone National Forest, Wyoming (17 miles from Yellowstone National Park)

We’re looking for hardworking, dependable, detail-oriented Housekeepers who take pride in their work, enjoy taking care of guests, and understand that on a small dude ranch, everyone pitches in.

Housekeeping is an important part of the UXU guest experience. Our guests come to Wyoming for the horses, mountains, Yellowstone, and Western adventure—but at the end of the day, they also expect to return to a clean, comfortable, well-cared-for cabin.

If you enjoy staying busy, working with a close-knit team, and aren't afraid to jump in wherever you're needed, we'd love to talk with you.

• Your Primary Role — Housekeeping

  Your main responsibility will be helping us maintain the cleanliness, comfort, and Western hospitality our guests expect throughout their stay. Cabins are turned on Thursday/Friday (depending on which program the guests choose). They are not cleaned daily, unless requested by the guest.

• Clean and maintain approximately 10 historic guest cabins and the Main Lodge

• Provide housekeeping service for occupied cabins (see above)

• Make beds, change linens, and restock towels and guest amenities

• Vacuum, dust, mop, sanitize, and clean windows as needed

• Maintain lodge bathrooms and shared guest areas

• Keep the laundry room clean, organized, and running efficiently

• Wash, dry, fold, organize, and rotate linens and towels

• Assist with cleaning designated areas of the kitchen

• Monitor housekeeping supplies and coordinate reordering through the front desk

• Report maintenance, damage, or safety concerns promptly

• Help keep the ranch looking welcoming, cared for, and ready for our guests

• Assist with dining room setup, serving, bussing, or cleanup on all meals

• Help in other departments as required

• Pitch in wherever needed — ranch life is a team effort

The attitude we're looking for is simple: if something needs doing, we work together and get it done.

• Seasonal position:
  May 10 – September 10, 2026

• Typically, a 6-day workweek

• Weekend and holiday work may be required

• Long, active days in a fast-paced ranch environment

• Wages based on experience

• Room & board included

• Tips

• Horseback Riding (subject to availability)

• Complimentary staff trips (subject to availability):

  • Yellowstone National Park

  • White Water Rafting

  • Cody Night Rodeo

  • Fishing & Hiking

• Western clothing discounts

• No commuting — live and work on-site

Previous housekeeping or hospitality experience is helpful, but work ethic, reliability, attitude, and attention to detail matter just as much.

• Dependable and ready to work

• Detail-oriented and proud of a job well done

• Comfortable working independently without constant supervision

• A strong team player

• Friendly and respectful around guests and coworkers

• Physically capable of an active job involving lifting, bending, stairs, laundry, and being on your feet throughout the day

• Comfortable with a fast-paced environment and changing priorities

• Willing to work weekends and holidays as needed

• Willing to help outside your primary department when the ranch needs an extra hand

• No Smoking or Pets

This is ranch life. Some days are long, plans occasionally change, and everyone pitches in. A positive attitude goes a long way.

  UXU Ranch has been welcoming guests to this corner of Wyoming since 1929.

  You'll live and work surrounded by mountains, wildlife, horses, the Shoshone River, and some of the most spectacular country in the West. Yellowstone National Park is just down the road, and Cody, Wyoming is close enough for a day off while still feeling a world away when you're back at the ranch.

It's hard work. It's not a resort job where every day looks the same.

But for the right person, that's exactly what makes it special.

We're looking for people who want to work hard, become part of a team, meet guests from around the country and the world, and finish the season with some incredible Wyoming memories.

Come work where the West is still the West.

UXU Ranch — You should be here.
