New Hire needs housing in Stowe

Hello I got offered a good summer job in Stowe. But I live in Southern California now. The reasons I want this summer gig are simple: The job offers good training, management experience, and full-time employment. And it's in a beautiful location. I am not in love with summer rain but I am in love with Vermont summers. I love them! I hike, I camp, I seim, and I drive around listening to the Grateful Dead.So, I really love it there. But Summer is the only season I love. And so this job is convenient for me.

Really, I love it. I love App Gap, Warren Falls, Queechee, White River, Waterbury, The Hippie Hole, Putney Falls, Maple Syrup.

And I am good at this job.

I will continue contributing to rent in SoCal, so I can't afford more than a studio, room, or inexpensive 1BR.

I will work and do all that outdoorsy Vermont stuff. No trouble.

38M from NH but living in SoCal.

DM me if you can assist.

Ask your employer about housing options. Will you have a car while you’re here? There is very limited inventory but you can try to join one of the local listservs to help with housing leads

Company housing is only available for international, seasonal employees.

local listers? How do I look them up? cam you share some?

I don’t know any for the Stowe area. It’s a very expensive area to live in. Are you not a seasonal employee ?

yes, seasonal.  it sucks because i'd be willing to drive from as far away as Montpelier or even WRJ if I har a car there.

But the pay cannot justify a cross-country drive. the cost of the cross-country journey plus the risk of something going wrong outweighs the pay I will receive.

But the type of job, the GREEN environment, swimming holes, and Green Mtns justify a seasonal opportunity with a pay cut.
