Mid-Ohio Valley, West Virginia & Ohio

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.

The work behind the welcome

Care happens in rooms, gardens, and the small systems between them.

A SILK Homes role is practical and place-aware: the work changes with each home, each season, and each guest.
