The Employee Experience

We have a diverse team of up to 30 employees. We have great private and shared employee housing with new memory foam mattresses, high-speed Wi-Fi, TV channels, and one meal provided. Our setting is incredible and our lodge gets very busy.  We value hard work and team spirit. Feeling appreciated and successful is very important to us, and we want to foster those feelings in everyone who is part of our team.  We are located 10 miles from the largest ski resort in the midwest, and 10 miles to Grand Marais, which is voted the best small town in the Midwest by USA Today.  We like to fish, camp, hike, ski, and share adventure stories with our guests.

Ideal Candidate

We are looking for dependable and hard-working individuals who appreciate the great outdoors and are coming to the Cascade Lodge not only to work but to explore. We live in such an amazing place and would like to share it with other individuals who enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, canoeing, skiing, and snowshoeing.

We are open year-round with our peak season being summer. There is plenty of opportunities to really take advantage of time and explore this great area!

Getting Here and Getting Around

We are located about a two-hour drive from Duluth and a 4-hour drive from Minneapolis.
