Housekeeper/Room Attendant Position
About the Position
Please note: This is a seasonal employment opportunity, from June 2026 to mid-October 2026
At Spring Lake Resort our philosophy is simple - to provide our guests with an unforgettable experience while providing excellent service. With this in mind, we are searching for part-time individuals to join our team and be an integral part of our day-to-day operations as housekeepers/room attendants. As a housekeeper, you are incredibly important to providing our guests with a safe and clean experience.
When you join our team at Spring Lake Resort, you’ll work with a small group of dedicated staff whose goal is to work together to ensure that when the guest enters their room, they have peace of mind knowing that their room has been taken care of using the appropriate tools. We are family-owned and operated, so we like to keep an open and friendly relationship between our team members, but unlike other family businesses, we really respect your time and work-life balance outside of being here, so we never contact you outside of work hours (unless it’s for setting schedules, or true emergencies.)
Individuals who truly shine in the position have the opportunity for a leadership position at our Resort!
