Housekeeper - Winter Season 2026/27 (Elkhorn Ranch, Tucson, Arizona - Private Room + All Meals)

Elkhorn Ranch is a historic guest ranch in the Baboquivari Mountains of the Sonoran Desert, southwest of Tucson, Arizona, that operates a winter season each year. This Housekeeper position runs from October 12, 2026 through May 2, 2027 and pays 16.50 dollars per hour, with a private furnished room (shared bathroom, linens provided) and all meals included, so there is no rent and no commute. Housekeeping staff manage housekeeping and laundry across 20 guest cabins plus the common areas. Mornings are spent cleaning cabins and shared spaces to ranch standards, afternoons cover laundry and cabin turnovers, and evening shifts involve cabin visits during guest dinner for light turndown duties such as turning on lights and preparing beds. The schedule is six days a week at roughly 42 hours with one scheduled day off. The ranch describes its crew life as living on site with three meals a day, Thursday night margaritas and steaks, and a share of guest service charges paid with paychecks and as an end-of-season bonus. The employer asks for a commitment for the entire season and notes the role suits people roughly 18 to 60 who are not currently enrolled students.
