What's it like when Voyageurs National Park, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area & Canada are at your doorstep! Crane Lake, MN

What would it be like working one of our seasonal jobs which run from the end of April through mid-October?  If you already live in MN you know how fun and beautiful it is!  Out of state applicants are welcome! We are on the border of Canada, boundary waters, and Voyageurs National Park, so there will be no shortage of beauty and adventure. Wages are $2,500 per month plus tips and bonuses! Housing and meals provided at no charge!  This is more than just a summer job. Living and working here represents an experience of a lifetime. It is an opportunity to learn a variety of skills, develop a strong work ethic and it can be a place to learn and grow.

Your experience at Pine Point can help enhance your future goals for employment in outdoor recreation, hotel/motel management, and other business opportunities in general. A sense of ownership grows from the commitment of working and maintaining our high standards of service. From the camaraderie and friendships that grow and from our commitment to provide the best quality experience for our guests in a setting that is beyond compare.

Staff members work both the lodging and dock side of the business and sometimes work different positions during the course of the workweek. Before the guests arrive in the middle of May, we begin training and getting staff familiarized with our Resort operations, cleaning, prepping boats and motors, lawn maintenance, and finishing projects. After they leave, in the beginning of October, we are busy shutting down the cottages and preparing the boats for the cold winter ahead.

A desire to be part of something bigger than one's self and enjoying the process of making it happen for our guests and for yourself. An opportunity of a lifetime!  Live the dream!  We are!

Realize there are millions of acres of pristine lakes and wilderness right outside your door!  We are called the land of 10,000 lakes for a reason. Activities you can enjoy for which there is no charge for include: using rental equipment (canoes, paddle boats, paddleboards, kayaks), enjoying miles of hiking trails, boating up lake or going into interior lakes, swimming and use of water trampoline and space mountain equipment, horse shoes, basketball hoop, volleyball, and berry picking when in season plus much more! 

We are looking for someone who is hardworking, has a positive attitude, loves the outdoors, wants to learn, gets to work on time, always has our guests best interests in mind, realizes and understands the importance of doing your job here, and works well with others. Really just someone that wants to have a fun and memorable summer.

RATE OF PAY: $2,500 per month + tips based on a 48 hours work week, bonus, housing, and meals. Most employees are able to save $8,000 to $10,000 by working for a season!

BONUS: This is a “Thank You” to our crew for all you do during your employment at Pine Point. It is given to those who complete their work contract and have maintained their commitment to providing the best quality experience for our guests. This includes a positive work attitude to co-workers and management, a good work ethic with excellent results, completion of a work contract, adhering to housing contract and collective cleaning duties, and returning the housing unit back to the state in which it was given to you (clean and well kept). The bonus pay is an additional $.50 per hour worked. Weekly tips also add substantially to earnings.

Pine Point Lodge is about 4 hours north of Minneapolis/St. Paul and 1 ½ hours from the nearest airports located in either Hibbing or International Falls, MN. Please feel free to contact us about transportation needs.

Even though we're somewhat remote, we're easily accessible.  However, if you feel the need to be close to the shopping mall and must have city life, this job is not for you.  The end of the road is about 1 mile by boat. The nearest town, population 350, is ½ hour one-way by car. The nearest shopping mall would be 1 ½ hours, one way by car. Our location has access, by boat, into Voyageur’s National Park, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Canada. 

Find yourself going up lake to a secluded beach or hiking trail, taking a 30 mile boat trip to Kettle Falls, Ash River, Elsworth Rock gardens and other area attractions. Voyageurs National Park is a short boat ride away. Fishing is a must!  Photograph some of the oldest rock formations in the world! Or jump off of the cliffs. We are deemed a dark sky area so the big dipper, Orion, and other constellations plus the northern lights and milky way are seen throughout the summer!  There is so much!  It's your playground, have fun!
