Seasonal Farm Caretaker in Cosby, TN
Job Description
Job Description
Looking for a full time, live in Caretaker/Air BnB host/manager on our 162 acre farm, The Farm at Stillwater Sanctuary. Our farm is listed on a Land Trust and is mostly wooded. There are chickens, ducks, a Mule, a horse and three Farm dogs. We have three garden areas. The farm also has two Air BnB’s as well as one off grid cabin and the Caretaker Cabin. We offer free room and board in exchange for daily chores. For Farm work, clean up, and Air Bnb cleaning and management, we pay $15 an hour. The farm is remote and we don’t currently have WiFi but cell service is good. We are signed up for Starlink so should have WiFi soon.
Applicants should have some experience working with horses, chickens and must love dogs. Gardening and basic skills such as ATV operation, chain saw, hoof cleaning, pest control around chicken coops, cabin clean and customer service skills are a plus. We have a list of daily and weekly chores but aside from those and keeping the Vacation Rentals looking good for guests, checking them in and helping them in an emergency, the Caretaker is free to call the Farm their own. We encourage our caretakers to garden, work with our native plants and help to enhance this beautiful sanctuary.
Since our place is on a Land Trust, we have various wild animals on the property, a paradise for nature lovers. There is also a beautiful pond on the property for swimming and hiking trails. We are close to the Cosby and Big Creek area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, 15 minutes from Newport, TN and half an hour from Gatlinburg.
