The Harbor View Motel, located on beautiful Beaver Island in Lake Michigan, is seeking an onsite Manager (partners are welcome) with a warm, welcoming smile and an eye for cleanliness and organization. Our motel features eight two-bedroom condominiums, six motel rooms, and a swimming pool. The motel is open from May 1 through Nov. 30. The manager will work from April 15 - Dec. 1. The busy season runs June, July, and August.

Beaver Island, 58 square miles in area, is the largest and only inhabited island in Lake Michigan. A two-hour ferry ride or a twenty minute flight from mainland Charlevoix is the lifeline to this unspoiled and unhurried island. Unmatched in natural beauty, it is steeped in rich Native American and Irish history. Paradise Bay, the hook shaped harbor on the north end of the island, is home to the town which consists of a ferry dock, two airports, gift shops, restaurants, pubs, groceries, marinas, churches, and museums. An old Coast Guard lighthouse still stands at Whiskey Point, the tip of this hook shaped bay.

If you enjoy working in a natural setting, being part of a dedicated team, are detail oriented and are good cleaners, this is a great opportunity to join us at Harbor View Motel!
