Adirondack Lakefront Property

Motel Long Lake & Cottages

Assistant Innkeeper/Lead Housekeeper

Full-time | Year-round | Long Lake, NY

Salary: $65,000

About Us

Motel Long Lake & Cottages is a family-owned lakefront property in the heart of the Adirondacks. Guests come here for the lake, the town of Long Lake, and easy access to the rest of the park.

With a mix of cottages and motel rooms, a private beach, canoes and kayaks, and a small hands-on team, we offer a warm, personal guest experience. We’re not a big resort or corporate hotel — we’re an independent property where hospitality is personal and each team member plays an important role.

Ownership is actively involved, and the right candidate will be supported as they grow into the role. We’re looking for someone who takes pride in meaningful work and wants to be part of a small lakefront hospitality business with room to grow.

The Role

As Assistant Innkeeper / Housekeeping Lead, you’ll be a core part of the guest experience and the daily rhythm of the property. This is a hands-on role that blends housekeeping leadership, guest readiness, property presentation, and team support.

It’s a great fit for someone who enjoys physical, tangible work, takes pride in clean and welcoming spaces, and likes being part of a small hospitality operation where what you do truly matters.

Responsibilities include:

• Deep cleaning cottages, motel rooms, and shared spaces
