House Manager

Sage Haus•Vail, CO

17d•Onsite

About The Position

We are an active family of three living in the heart of Vail with a mini Bernadoodle to round out our crew. Life here moves fast and with purpose. Between demanding professional careers, a thriving young teen athlete in the household, and a vibrant outdoor lifestyle centered around skiing and mountain biking, our days are full and our energy is high. Our home is our anchor. We love it to feel calm, stocked, and functional without requiring constant attention. We are deeply embedded in this community and value people who understand the rhythm of mountain town life. We have high standards and low drama. We know what we need, and we are looking for someone who can come in, take the wheel on household operations, and make daily life run more smoothly so we can focus on what matters most: our family, our work, and our time together. We are looking to bring someone into our home who understands what it means to be a professional in a private household setting — someone who shows up, understands healthy boundaries, sees what needs to be done, and does it without being asked.
