Join the team

Full-Time · Salaried · $46,000–$54,000 Based on Experience

We're looking for a hospitality-driven leader to anchor The Mountain Top Lodge Wednesday through Sunday — someone who can hold the standard on shift, lead the team in front of them, and make every guest feel personally cared for from check-in to farewell.

About the Role

This is a salaried, full-time leadership role covering our busiest stretch — Wednesday through Sunday, including evening and weekend shifts.

You'll be the senior leader on shift: setting the tone for the team, owning the guest experience on the floor, and stepping in wherever needed. You'll work closely with our General Manager and Assistant Manager, who set the broader operational direction — your job is to make every shift run beautifully when they're off site.

That means leading from the front desk, running point at Wit & Wisdom dinner service, working alongside the team at The Welcome Bar, and supporting housekeeping operations when the moment calls for it.

What You'll Own

Leadership on Shift

• Lead and direct the on-property team — service, front desk, and housekeeping support — during your scheduled shifts

• Set the tone for excellence from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave

• Coach in the moment — catching opportunities to develop the team without slowing service

• Handle guest issues with calm, judgment, and grace; recover service moments before they become memories

• Communicate clearly with the GM and Heather on what's working, what's not, and what needs attention

Guest Experience Operations

• Own front desk operations during your shifts — check-ins, check-outs, guest requests, and the warm first impression that sets the tone for every stay

• Run point at Wit & Wisdom — our 20-seat communal prix-fixe supper club — managing flow, narrating the experience, and protecting the room's energy

• Support The Welcome Bar — coffee, cocktails, wine, and conversation

• Handle phone inquiries, reservations, and on-property guest communication

Property Standards

• Walk the property each shift — common areas, guest rooms, restrooms — and address anything below standard

• Support housekeeping when needed; jump in to ensure rooms and spaces reflect MTL's boutique presentation

• Flag operational gaps to the GM with proposed solutions

Team Support

• Be the steady hand the team can count on during evenings and weekends

• Step in wherever needed with a whatever it takes mindset

Who You Are

• Hospitality leadership or supervisory experience — boutique hotel, fine dining, or upscale restaurant background welcome

• A genuine player-coach — comfortable leading from the floor, not from an office

• Calm and clear-headed under pressure — service recovery is a craft, not a panic

• Detail-oriented — you notice what others miss

• Warm, present, and guest-focused — hospitality is your craft, not your job

• Comfortable working evenings and full weekends as your regular schedule

• Physically able to move quickly across the property, lift up to 50 lbs, and stay active throughout long shifts

This Role Is For You If

• You believe leadership happens on the floor, not behind a desk

• You take pride in being the steady, calm presence when service gets intense

• You'd rather anchor a 16-room boutique property where every guest feels known

• You're drawn to hospitality as a craft — service, beverage, food, and rooms all as one woven experience

• You're ready to invest in a property and a team for the long haul

This Role Is Not For You If

• You want a Monday-through-Friday, 9-to-5 schedule

• You're looking for a pure leadership role with no hands-on work

• You prefer larger, more hierarchical organizations

• You're looking for a stepping stone rather than a craft to invest in

Our Core Principles

At The Mountain Top Lodge, we live by these guiding values:

• Addicted to Excellence — Excellence is the baseline.

• Enthusiastic Hospitality — We turn ordinary moments into memorable ones.

• Whatever It Takes Attitude — We step in for each other, for our guests, for the property.

• Extreme Ownership — We own outcomes. No excuses.

• Celebrate Our Experience — We find joy in the craft of hospitality.

• Protect the Fort — We're loyal to our team and our standards.

If these resonate, you'll feel right at home here.

The Details

• Type: Full-time, salaried

• Pay: $46,000–$54,000 annually, based on experience

• Schedule: Wednesday through Sunday, including evenings and full weekends

• Location: In-person, The Mountain Top Lodge, Dahlonega, GA

• Benefits: Health insurance available after 3 months · 3 weeks PTO after 6 months · On-property meals during shifts

• Reports to: General Manager and Founder

"We've built a strong leadership team here — a General Manager and Assistant Manager who set the direction and standard. What we need is the right person to anchor weekends and evenings: someone who cares about the guest experience the way we do, and who'll lead the team beautifully when the rest of us are off site. If you've ever wanted to lead at a property small enough that every guest feels personal, this might be it."

Part-Time · Friday & Saturday Evenings · $40/hour

We're looking for a polished, wine-knowledgeable hospitality professional to be the face of The Mountain Top Lodge on Friday and Saturday evenings — leading our Wit & Wisdom tasting menu dinners and serving as evening concierge on non-dinner nights.

About the Role

This is a specialized part-time hospitality position — Friday and Saturday evenings only, 5:30 PM to close (typically around 10:30 PM). You'll be the face of MTL after dark.

On Wit & Wisdom dinner nights, you'll lead the entire experience. Our 20-seat communal prix-fixe supper club is the heart of weekend evenings at the Lodge — and the maître d' is the architect of that experience. You'll welcome guests at the Welcome Bar at 6:30, confirm preferences and allergies, upsell wine pairings, lead the 7:00 PM announcement in the lobby, walk guests into the dining room, narrate the five-course menu, and guide wine pairings throughout the night.

On non-dinner nights, you'll serve as Evening Concierge — checking in late arrivals, hosting at The Welcome Bar, and being the polished presence guests can count on across the property.

Our General Manager is Le Cordon Bleu trained. The standards across the property come from people who care deeply about the craft, and we're looking for the right person to anchor weekend evenings with that same care.

What You'll Own

On Wit & Wisdom Dinner Nights

• Lead the entire guest experience from arrival to farewell

• Welcome guests at The Welcome Bar starting at 6:30 PM — warm check-in, allergy confirmation, drink preferences captured

• Upsell wine pairings and recommend cocktails with genuine wine knowledge and warmth

• Update our CRM with guest notes, preferences, and details that make the next visit even better

• Lead the 7:00 PM announcement in the lobby and walk guests into the dining room

• Narrate the five-course tasting menu, course by course

• Guide wine pairings throughout the evening — pour notes, region, why it works with the dish

• Lead the service team on the floor; coordinate timing with the kitchen

• Close out the experience with grace

On Non-Dinner Nights (Evening Concierge)

• Check in late arrivals and handle any evening guest needs

• Host at The Welcome Bar — coffee, wine, cocktails, conversation

• Walk the property and address anything below standard

• Handle phone inquiries, guest requests, and reservation questions

• Be the polished evening presence guests can count on

Pre-Service Prep (5:30–6:30 PM)

• Confirm menus are printed and beautifully presented

• Set the seating chart based on the night's reservations

• Prepare check-in sheets with allergy and preference notes from the CRM

• Brief the team on guest notes (return guests, celebrations, dietary needs)

• Ensure The Welcome Bar is ready for arrivals

Who You Are

• Real wine knowledge — you can speak with specificity about regions, producers, styles, and pairings (formal training a plus, but not required)

• Comfortable holding a room — the 7:00 PM announcement and procession requires genuine presence

• Polished hospitality background — fine dining, boutique hotel, private club, or similar

• Warm, present, and genuinely interested in people

• Detail-oriented — you notice the menu corner that's bent, the half-empty water glass, the guest who needs another moment before being seated

• Calm under pressure — service recovery is a craft, not a panic

• Available for both Friday and Saturday evenings, every weekend

This Role Is For You If

• Hosting elevated dinners genuinely lights you up

• You have a day job, a primary role, or a season of life that makes weekend evenings the perfect rhythm for you

• You love wine and want to share what you know with guests

• You're drawn to small, intimate, intentional hospitality — not high-volume rooms

• You take pride in being the person who makes a guest's evening unforgettable

This Role Is Not For You If

• You're looking for full-time work or a primary income

• You're uncomfortable speaking in front of a small group

• Wine is a casual interest rather than something you've genuinely studied

• Weekend evenings don't work for your life

Our Core Principles

At The Mountain Top Lodge, we live by these guiding values:

• Addicted to Excellence — Excellence is the baseline.

• Enthusiastic Hospitality — We turn ordinary moments into memorable ones.

If these resonate, you'll feel right at home here.

• Type: Part-time, hourly

• Pay: $40/hour, paid hourly (no tips)

• Hours: 10 hours/week — Friday and Saturday evenings, 5:30 PM to close (~10:30 PM)

Full-Time · Mostly Remote · $62,000 base + up to $6,000 Performance Bonus

We're looking for a Marketing Manager to lead the digital presence of two brands: The Mountain Top Lodge (our boutique hotel in Dahlonega, GA) and a hospitality personal brand led by our founder, Heather. We're looking for someone who sees what's needed and moves — without waiting to be told.

About the Role

You'll be Heather's marketing partner — owning social posting and community management across Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and YouTube, producing short-form video, managing Pinterest as a real traffic driver, and running ManyChat automation to convert social attention into booking inquiries. You'll propose strategy and content; Heather approves both.

This is a hands-on, collaborative role. The right candidate sees that as a feature, not a friction.

What You'll Own

Social Media Strategy & Execution

• Lead content strategy and execution across Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and YouTube — for both MTL and the founder's personal brand

• Manage two distinct content voices: MTL's boutique hotel voice and the founder's personal hospitality brand voice

• Maintain a consistent, high-quality publishing cadence across all platforms — guided by content strategy and platform best practices, not a static checklist

• Engage daily — comment, reply, connect with our audience and ideal guests; this is part of the role, not an afterthought

Founder's Voice & Brand

• Write captions, scripts, and content that sounds exactly like Heather — not like a marketing manager guessing. You'll study her voice, learn her patterns, and produce content she reads and says yes, that's me.

• Protect the brand voice across both MTL and her personal brand

Short-Form Video Production

• Capture and edit scroll-stopping short-form video for Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Pinterest video pins

• Phone-based shooting is fine; editing in CapCut, InShot, or similar is expected

• Maintain a high visual standard that matches the MTL aesthetic

Pinterest as a Real Traffic Driver

• Build and execute a Pinterest strategy that drives meaningful traffic to MTL and the personal brand

• Design pins, write keyword-optimized descriptions, structure boards strategically

• Track saves, clicks, and outbound conversions — Pinterest is a long-game investment, and you understand that

ManyChat & Booking Funnel Automation

• Build and maintain ManyChat flows that convert Instagram engagement into booking inquiries

• Set up comment-triggered responses for campaigns and content moments

• Monitor flows weekly, optimize based on performance, ensure everything routes cleanly into our CRM

Analytics & Performance Reporting

• Pull the numbers monthly, interpret them, and apply what you learn

• Report on the KPIs tied to your bonus structure: email list growth, Pinterest saves, attributed bookings, content quality

• Every month should be smarter than the last

Trend-Spotting & Content Ideation

• Watch what's working on each platform before we ask

• Bring ideas to the table proactively — translate emerging trends into content that fits our brand, not just what's going viral

Quality Control & Proofing

• Every piece of content — spelling, names, dates, links, messaging — is reviewed and accurate before it goes to Heather for approval

• A final proofing pass is non-negotiable, every time

On-Property Content Capture

• Be on-property for 4–8 weekend evenings per month to capture live content from Wit & Wisdom dinners, private events, and seasonal moments

• Plan content capture before each event so the time is productive, not reactive

The Working Relationship

You'll propose strategy and content; Heather approves both. This isn't a hands-off role — she's involved, opinionated, and protective of both brands. The right candidate sees that as a feature, not a friction.

You'll have real ownership of execution, but the brand voice and direction run through her. Over time, as trust builds, approval becomes more streamlined. The standard never drops.

Who You Are

• You see what's needed and move — you don't wait to be told what to do next

• You're obsessed with the details, not because someone told you to be, but because it physically bothers you when something is off

• You read a founder well — you can anticipate what Heather needs and move before she has to ask

• You communicate with precision — captions, Slack messages, content briefs, all clear and professional

• You take ownership — when something goes wrong, you say so and fix it before it spreads

• You can write in someone else's voice so well even people close to them can't tell it wasn't them

• You have a real point of view on brands — you can audit an account in 5 minutes and tell us what's working and what isn't

Requirements

• 4+ years in-house social media management experience (agency-only is a bonus, not a substitute)

• Direct experience running a founder's or executive's personal brand

• Hands-on expertise with Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and YouTube

• Strong short-form video editing skills with a high visual standard

• Demonstrated ability to write in someone else's voice

• Fluency with social media analytics — you read data, explain it, change your approach based on it

• Comfortable using AI tools to increase content output and efficiency

• Located within a 90-minute drive of Dahlonega, GA — this role requires on-property attendance for 4–8 weekend evenings per month

• ManyChat experience strongly preferred (we're willing to teach the right candidate)

• Email marketing experience is a nice-to-have, not required

This Role Is For You If

• You see brand voice protection as an art, not a chore

• You love working closely with a founder and protecting her time

• You take pride in a feed that's alive, on-brand, and growing

• You move fast without sacrificing quality

• You read feedback as direction, not criticism

This Role Is Not For You If

• You want to post whatever you want without approval

• You wait for direction instead of moving

• You take feedback personally instead of professionally

• You set the bar at completion rather than excellence

• Weekend evenings on-property don't work for your life

• Celebrate Our Experience — We find joy in the craft of hospitality.

• Protect the Fort — We're loyal to our team and our standards.

If these resonate, you'll feel right at home here.

Full-Time · Hourly · Starting at $20/hour, Commensurate with Experience.

We're looking for a passionate cook to join the kitchen team at The Mountain Top Lodge and Wit & Wisdom — our 20-seat communal prix-fixe supper club in Dahlonega, Georgia. Whether you have years of professional kitchen experience or you're a recent culinary school graduate ready to grow under strong mentors, we'd love to meet you.

About the Role

You'll work directly under our Head Chef in a small, intentional kitchen — cooking five-course tasting menus for one communal table.. You'll also work alongside our General Manager, a Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef, who shapes the standards across both the kitchen and the broader property.

This is a #2 role in the kitchen. You'll execute the Founder's vision, contribute your own perspective, and grow your craft under real mentorship. It's the right fit for someone who wants to learn deeply from skilled chefs — not someone looking to run their own kitchen.

What You'll Own

On the Line

• Execute the Head Chef's menu with consistency, care, and attention to plating

• Run your station with mise en place, timing, and discipline

• Pace courses for our 20-seat communal prix-fixe service at Wit & Wisdom

• Maintain quality standards under pressure — every plate, every night

• Step into other stations when service demands it

Behind the Scenes

• Prep work, butchery, sauce work, and ingredient breakdown depending on station

• Support the Head Chef with menu development, seasonal sourcing, and recipe testing

• Maintain a clean, organized, safe kitchen — your station and shared spaces

• Track inventory and flag low stock or quality issues

Growth & Craft

• Learn from a skilled Head Chef and a Le Cordon Bleu-trained GM

• Bring your own ideas and grow your repertoire over time

• Contribute to a kitchen culture rooted in pride, precision, and mutual respect

Who You Are

• Passionate about food — you care about technique, flavor, and presentation

• Open to learning under a strong mentor; comfortable being #2

• Reliable and steady — when service starts, you're ready

• Calm under pressure; you don't fold when tickets stack up

• Detail-oriented — plating consistency matters to you

• Physically able to stand for long shifts, lift up to 50 lbs, and handle the heat of a kitchen line

• A team player — you jump on dish, run food, or step into another station when needed

This Role Is For You If

• You're a culinary school graduate or experienced cook looking to grow under skilled mentors

• You love the rhythm of dinner service and the craft of plating

• You're drawn to tasting menu and prix-fixe cooking — the focus, the pacing, the intentionality

• You'd rather cook excellent food in a small intentional kitchen than turn out volume in a big one

• You're ready to invest in your craft for the long haul

This Role Is Not For You If

• You're looking to run your own kitchen right now

• You want a Monday-through-Friday schedule

• You'd rather cook fast and high-volume than slow and intentional

• You're not interested in tasting menu or communal-style service

Our Core Principles

At The Mountain Top Lodge, we live by these guiding values:

• Addicted to Excellence — Excellence is the baseline.

• Enthusiastic Hospitality — We turn ordinary moments into memorable ones.

"A great kitchen is built on craft, humility, and people who care. We've built a team that loves what they do — a Head Chef who runs a beautiful service, and a Le Cordon Bleu-trained General Manager who keeps standards high across the whole property.

Part-Time · $16–$22/hour · Based on Experience

We're looking for a hospitality-driven, polished, and proactive team member to support both guest experience and housekeeping operations — someone who believes a perfectly made bed matters as much as a perfectly poured cocktail.

About the Role

This is a hands-on, dynamic role that blends front desk operations, serving, beverage service, and room care. You'll move between the lobby, the dining room, the bar, and the guest rooms — ensuring every touchpoint of the guest journey feels elevated and seamless.

It's a part-time position with weekend availability required (at least one Saturday or Sunday shift per weekend, based on operational needs).

What You'll Own

Guest Experience & Service

• Be the first point of contact for guest questions, requests, and recommendations — from dinner reservations to hiking trails to the best local coffee

• Operate The Welcome Bar — crafting coffee drinks, cocktails, and wine pours with care

• You enjoy both interacting with guests and working behind the scenes to create an exceptional environment

• You believe a perfectly made bed matters as much as a perfectly poured cocktail

• You'd prefer to focus on only service or only housekeeping — not both

• You're looking for a Monday-through-Friday role

• A fast pace and physical work aren't a fit for where you are right now

Part-Time · 16–24 hours/week · $15–$18/hour · Based on Experience.

We're looking for a detail-oriented housekeeper to join the team at The Mountain Top Lodge — someone who takes real pride in creating beautifully clean, thoughtfully reset guest rooms that our guests come back for.

About the Role

This is part-time housekeeping work at a 16-room boutique hotel in Dahlonega, GA. You'll typically work two to three shifts a week — Sunday and Thursday are required, with Monday being a strong plus and likely to be needed most weeks.

On a typical turnover day, you'll reset 6–8 guest rooms, maintain common areas, and support laundry and linen care. You'll work closely with the Assistant Manager and the broader MTL team to keep every guest space reflecting our standards.

What You'll Own

• Clean and reset guest rooms to The MTL's boutique, five-star presentation standard

• Maintain pristine common areas, restrooms, and service spaces

• Handle laundry and linens with care — folding, presentation, and inventory organization

• Restock guest room amenities thoughtfully (toiletries, towels)

• Notice and report anything that needs attention — a chipped paint corner, a flickering light, a fraying linen

• Communicate clearly with the team about room status and any guest needs you spot

• Bring care and quiet attention to every space you touch — guests should walk in and feel held

Who You Are

• Detail-oriented — you notice what others miss, and you take pride in that

• Fast and accurate — you can move quickly without sacrificing quality

• Dependable — when you're scheduled, you're there

• Comfortable with physical work — lifting up to 50 lbs, climbing stairs repeatedly, bending, kneeling, and staying active throughout shifts

• Available on Sundays and Thursdays, with Monday availability strongly preferred

• Some boutique hotel, B&B, vacation rental, or detailed residential cleaning experience preferred (not required if you're motivated and a fast learner)

This Role Is For You If

• You believe a beautifully made bed is its own kind of craft

• You'd rather take pride in eight perfectly reset rooms than rush through fifteen

• You find quiet satisfaction in setting a space exactly right

• You're looking for steady part-time work at a property that cares about quality

This Role Is Not For You If

• You're looking for full-time, 40-hour-a-week work

Part-Time, Growing to Full-Time · $16–$20/hour Based on Experience.

We're looking for a Grounds Technician to keep The Mountain Top Lodge looking beautiful inside and out — someone who takes real pride in outdoor work and notices the small things that make a property feel cared for.

About the Role

This is hands-on, outdoor work at a 16-room boutique hotel in Dahlonega, GA. You'll maintain our lawns, landscaping, hiking trails, and outdoor spaces — and step in for light handyman work and event setup as needed.

This role starts part-time (20–30 hours per week) with the potential to grow to full-time. Weekend availability is required, because that's when our property is busiest and our grounds need to look their best.

You'll be the person who notices the cobweb on the lantern, the leaf piled at the front door, the trail marker that's gone crooked. Outdoor pride at a boutique property is its own craft — and we're looking for someone who feels that.

What You'll Own

Grounds & Landscaping

• Mow, edge, and maintain lawn areas to a boutique standard

• Care for landscaping beds, plants, and mulched areas

• Trim trees and shrubs; remove debris from walkways and outdoor surfaces

• Weed control (manual and chemical, as appropriate)

• Water plants and landscaping as needed
