Guest Concierge and Host

Madbush Falls, Vermont's bike & ski basecamp in the incredible Mad River Valley, is adding a key member of our team: Lodge & Scoop Coordinator. If you love hospitality and want to help our guests experience our incredible mountain environment, this could be the position for you. You'll join an awesome, supportive team working together on our gorgeous property, which includes a wildly popular 100+ seat restaurant, 24-room lodge with 10 seasonal tents, a brand new scoop shop, a bike shop operated by the Outdoor Gear Exchange, and 2 Savu Saunas right by our namesake waterfall. We have earned over 250 5-star reviews and acclaim from multiple national press outlets, including a rating from Outside Magazine as the #3 fall destination in the world. Madbush Falls opened in late summer 2023, the culmination of 3 years of planning and construction and a dream team of Vermont's outdoor and hospitality professionals. We transformed a classic 50's era roadhouse (originally called The Madbush Alpine Chalet) into a restaurant beloved by locals and tourists alike, a comfortable, chic lodge that's the perfect place to relax after a big day outside, and a cultural center and logistical basecamp for Vermont's booming mountain and gravel biking scene. The property features a crystal clear waterfall and swim hole just steps from the lodge, and beautiful open grounds with a river running through it. It's trailside to a world class mountain bike network. In the winter, we're neighbors to Waitsfield's largest XC ski center and 8 minutes from Sugarbush and Mad River Glen on the free shuttle route. You'll be supported by General Manager Dennis Richter and Founder Jonny Adler (also co-Founder of the Skinny Pancake), and a stellar team of talented room attendants, servers, bartenders, and cooks. Operational Responsibilities Your mission is to provide high-energy service to our guests across all areas of the property, from the lodge to the scoop shop.
