Become a Part of SILK Homes

We're always looking for passionate individuals who share our love for homesteading, hospitality, and historical homes.

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.
