Small, family owned summer lodge at 9,700 feet in California.
Rock Creek Lakes Resort is located at 9,700 feet in the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains. The Eastern Sierra is located on the far east side of California, about 6 hours north of Los Angeles. We are 9 miles up Rock Creek Canyon, which is situated in between Mammoth Lakes and Bishop. The Resort was built over 80 years ago and has been owned by the King Family since 1979. Our small general store caters to fishermen, campers, and hikers in the area. We have a cafe and grill where we serve breakfast and lunch. The property has eleven rental cabins that range from one to three-bedroom and all have bathrooms and kitchens. We are situated across the road from Rock Creek Lake and have boats and kayaks available to rent. Our backyard is amazing! Surrounded by 12,000-foot peaks, we are within walking distance to excellent fishing and some of the best hiking to be had in the Eastern Sierra.

We hire staff to work multiple positions. A future employee can expect to work in all parts of the business ranging from helping customers in the store to cleaning rental cabins throughout the workday. We are a small business and try to keep everyone busy during their shift. All positions are paid at an hourly rate with an average workweek of up to 40 hours unless otherwise specified. Most people that work at the Resort are outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy going on hikes or a fishing adventure after work. We love being outside in the mountains and strongly believe in working hard as a team so we can all get out to enjoy our beautiful backyard at the end of the day. There is no cell phone service at the Resort, which we consider a nice escape for the summer. We hope that at the end of the season our employees will love working and playing in Rock Creek Canyon as much as we do. Please note: We are taking the COVID-19 pandemic very seriously at Rock Creek Lakes Resort. Because we all live and work together, we have a strict protocol in place to keep our staff and customers healthy and safe.
Besides getting to live in the heart of the mountains, our employees receive: All meals and snacks provided free of charge. Free employee housing for the summer. Discounts on merchandise in our store. Employees have access to boats and kayaks after work at no cost.
We are looking for employees who care about the work they do and the environment they are living in. We are in the hospitality business, so friendly customer service skills are a must! The Resort runs best when everyone is working together and being a team player is crucial to our business running smoothly. Being able to stay busy and productive when it's slow and adjust to a faster-paced environment quickly is important. Expect to be on your feet for all 8 hours of the workday doing many different tasks throughout your shift. Our goal every summer is to hire folks looking for a family-type atmosphere. Since we live and work in the same place, we spend a lot of time together. Being comfortable and mindful of others is essential. Not having cell phone service readily available is unique in today's world. A potential employee will be happier working here if he or she doesn't feel the need to be connected to technology.
