Does anyone know of seasonal jobs in Maine that offer housing for employees? I'm thinking about spending a summer there after graduating, but I'd need a place to stay while working. Any leads would be great!
A great place to look for seasonal jobs in Maine, especially those that provide housing, are the numerous summer camps. Maine is known for its diverse array of beautiful summer camps. Jobs at these locations typically include room and board as part of your compensation.
Hotels, resorts, and lodges are another good option to consider. Places like Bar Harbor Inn and the Cliff House Resort are known to recruit seasonal workers. These establishments may also offer roommate-style staff quarters, often at a low cost.
Another unique option could be to explore opportunities on Maine's many offshore islands, which often look for summer help. They typically provide housing due to the limited living options in these locations. Places like Monhegan Island are often looking for help in their seasonal businesses.
While this is not an exhaustive list, hopefully it can help you get started! Be sure to do plenty of research about each opportunity and consider your comfort with the living situation before preparing to spend your entire summer there.
