We are looking for a few keen people to help us with our rustic mountain cabins. While housekeeping is the main role, there are a variety of other jobs we need help with.

I had a lot of fun during volunteering here. Nathan and Lilia are awesome. Always very kind and proactive. And I met many volunteers come from all over the world. Everyone is friendly and always help each other ! The only thing need to know is if you want to go somewhere in your day off, then you need to hitchhike. But here got many volunteers, so you can go together with other volunteers !!

The lodge is a special place - such a peaceful atmosphere and so many kind people! The area around Golden is beautiful and there are so many cool places to explore. The work involves helping with cleaning and/or reception, and is usually quite busy, especially in summer. But it was very rewarding to welcome guests from many different places. It is quite remote as many others have said so at times you can get a ride to town, or try hitchhiking! It is also nice to hang out around the lodge in your time off - relaxing in the hammock, playing card games, or talking to other volunteers.

I loved my stay at the lodge! Managers Lily and Nathan were incredibly kind, and I learned so much from Lily. I also had the chance to e-meet the owner, Jim, who was very nice as well. I wish I could have stayed longer. I went on a few hikes during my time here and was lucky enough to see the Northern Lights twice. Everyone I met, including the co-volunteers, guests, and staff, was absolutely lovely.

The place was beautiful! Everyone was super friendly and respectful. Unfortunately I had to leave earlier than expected but because I was extremely homesick. They were super understandable about it and even gave me a ride to the bus station so I could leave.

I enjoyed my time at the lodge, the work was fine & the scenery is very nice and the vibe is really peaceful. Nathan was a great and thoughtful manager that made sure I had a great time and was looked after. Only a few things let it down from being a 5 star review. During my stay there were several prolonged plumbing issues that were not addressed professionally on the property, I did not have proper access to a running tap. It is worth noting that there is not much to see nearby and there is no consistent transport, you will have to hitchhike from the HWY.
