We have opportunities for local, part-time help with landscaping, housekeeping, and maintenance. For those looking for a deeper commitment, we offer opportunities to live on-site, manage a cluster of properties, and truly become an innkeeper in our community.

If you enjoy getting your hands dirty, making guests feel welcome, and contributing to a shared vision, you might be a perfect fit.

Current Opportunities

Live-In Innkeeper & Garden Steward

Ravenswood, WV (4-Home Cluster)
The Opportunity

We are seeking a dedicated individual or couple to oversee our four historic homes in Ravenswood. This is a lifestyle role for someone who loves old houses, enjoys gardening, and excels at making people feel at home. Responsibilities include guest communication, coordinating cleanings, performing light maintenance, and tending to the victory gardens. This is a chance to live and breathe the homesteading life while being a key part of our hospitality mission.

Who We're Looking For

An experienced and self-motivated person with skills in guest services, basic home repair, and gardening. You are a problem-solver who is calm under pressure and genuinely loves creating a welcoming atmosphere. A passion for sustainability and community living is a must.

What We Offer

On-site housing in a private apartment, a monthly salary, and a share of the produce from the gardens. All utilities included. Become a core member of the SILK Homes family.

Part-Time Landscaper & Gardener

Parkersburg, WV
The Opportunity

Have a green thumb and a few hours to spare? We're looking for a local partner to help maintain the lawns and victory gardens at our Parkersburg properties. This is a perfect role for someone who loves being outdoors and wants to contribute to our food-growing mission without a live-in commitment.

What You'll Do

Mowing, trimming, weeding, planting, and harvesting based on the needs of the season. Work on your own schedule.

What We Offer

Competitive hourly pay. A share of the harvest. The satisfaction of making our corners of the world more beautiful and productive.

Housekeeping & Staging Artisan

Marietta, OH
The Opportunity

We see housekeeping as a craft. It's the art of creating a space that feels clean, calm, and welcoming from the moment a guest walks in. We're looking for a detail-oriented individual to care for our Marietta homes between guest stays.

Who You Are

You find deep satisfaction in a perfectly made bed, a spotless kitchen, and a dust-free bookshelf. You are reliable, trustworthy, and work efficiently.

What We Offer

Flexible hours and excellent pay per job. You will be a trusted and respected member of our core team.
