Guesthouse Hospitality Company Adventure Guide Truckee, CA · Full time Company website

We’re Hiring: Local Guide (aka Guest Experience Hero)! The Guide role at Guesthouse is part host, part local expert, and part logistics pro. You’ll be the connective thread between our homes, guests, and experiences—transporting people and provisions with warmth and reliability, while sharing the best of Truckee along the way. It’s a hands-on role for someone who loves people, knows the area inside and out, and takes pride in making every guest feel like they belong.

Description

Be the Soul of the Stay.

At Guesthouse, we don’t just offer places to stay—we craft immersive experiences that make people feel connected, grounded, and alive. Whether it’s a sun-soaked villa in wine country or a snowy escape in the Sierras, our mission is to create presence through place, and our Guides are at the heart of it all.


Your Role: The Guide

You’re not just a driver. You’re a trusted local, a storyteller, a concierge on wheels, and a friendly face who knows Truckee like the back of your (warm, weathered, mountain-seasoned) hand. You’ll be the first smile guests see and the last wave they remember—shuttling them between unforgettable moments and elevating their entire stay with genuine care and insider wisdom.


What You’ll Do:

  • Drive with purpose — transport guests around Truckee safely, punctually, and with a playlist worth remembering.
  • Deliver joy — move fresh-prepped food, supplies, and special touches between our homes and hubs.
  • Be the local legend — recommend the perfect trail, hidden coffee spot, or can’t-miss pop-up event.
  • Create connections — build rapport with guests, making their stay feel custom-crafted just for them.
  • Keep our rides fresh — maintain clean, well-stocked vehicles that feel more like lounges on wheels.
  • Team up — collaborate with the hospitality crew to ensure seamless, elevated experiences.
  • Stay in the know — be current on weather, events, road closures, and the latest local gems.


What You Bring:

  • You’re a Truckee expert (or Lake Tahoe area) with a passion for sharing your slice of the world.
  • You’re warm, engaging, and love meeting people from all walks of life.
  • You’ve got a valid driver’s license and a clean driving record.
  • Hospitality experience is a plus—but personality and presence are the real must-haves.
  • You’re a self-starter, always a step ahead, and take pride in doing things well.
  • You’re flexible and happy to work weekends, evenings, and holidays (because guests don’t vacation on a 9-to-5).


Physical Bits (the mountain life isn’t always soft):

  • Able to sit and drive for extended periods.
  • Comfortable lifting up to 40 lbs, loading/unloading gear, navigating stairs, and dealing with a variety of mountain weather conditions.


What You’ll Get:

  • $28–$30/hour starting pay + tips
  • Equity opportunities in a growing hospitality company
  • Flexible growth path across multiple business functions
  • Stunning work settings—from mountain lodges to lakeside retreats
  • A collaborative, people-first culture rooted in care and creativity
  • Full benefits package
