Guest ranches, also known as dude ranches, are vacation destinations that offer visitors an authentic ranch experience. They typically provide accommodations, meals, and a variety of outdoor activities such as horseback riding, cattle drives, fishing, and hiking. Guests can immerse themselves in ranch life while enjoying modern comforts and hospitality. These ranches are popular vacation spots for families, couples, and groups looking to experience the outdoors and Western culture.

What are the typical daily responsibilities for employees working at a guest ranch?

Employees at a guest ranch often handle a variety of tasks depending on their specific roles, such as guiding horseback rides, assisting with guest check-ins, serving meals, maintaining cabins, and organizing recreational activities. The work environment is usually team-oriented, with staff collaborating closely to ensure guests have a memorable experience. Flexibility and adaptability are key, as daily duties can change based on guest needs and ranch events. It's a dynamic workplace that offers the chance to build strong teamwork skills and interact with people from diverse backgrounds.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a guest ranch manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Guest Ranch Manager, you need strong hospitality management skills, a background in business administration or tourism, and practical experience in guest services. Familiarity with property management systems, booking software, and basic maintenance tools is often required. Excellent interpersonal skills, leadership, and problem-solving abilities help create memorable guest experiences and lead diverse teams. These skills ensure smooth ranch operations, guest satisfaction, and the ability to handle the unique challenges of rural hospitality environments.

Description

Chef de Cuisine — The Cheyenne Club at Brush Creek Ranch

$95,000–$100,000 | 10% End-of-Season Guaranteed Bonus 

Who We Are

Brush Creek Ranch is a luxury guest ranch in the Snowy Range mountains of Wyoming — and The Cheyenne Club is where our culinary program reaches its highest expression. We're looking for a Chef de Cuisine who is ready to lead a world-class fine dining kitchen, develop a talented culinary team, and bring a genuine passion for seasonal, locally inspired cuisine to one of the most extraordinary ranch resort settings in the American West.

This role reports to our Executive Chef and offers a compensation package designed to attract the best: $95,000–$100,000 base salary, a 10% end-of-season guaranteed bonus, subsidized on-site housing, and three free meals per day. Relocation assistance available for the right candidate.

The Opportunity

  • Lead The Cheyenne Club — Brush Creek Ranch's signature fine dining restaurant — with full ownership of culinary operations, seasonal menu development, and kitchen team performance
  • Work directly with The Farm at Brush Creek Ranch — our on-site greenhouse, goat dairy, creamery, and artisan bakery — to build a truly authentic farm-to-table culinary program
  • Execute signature culinary events, private ranch dinners, and immersive guest programming in one of Wyoming's most celebrated luxury ranch environments
  • Develop and mentor a dedicated culinary team in a supportive, craft-focused kitchen culture
  • Build a long-term culinary career within the White Lodging luxury ranch and hotel network

Ideal Candidate

  • 5+ years of progressive culinary leadership in luxury restaurants, destination resorts, private clubs, or fine dining environments
  • Experience at a Relais & Châteaux, Forbes-rated, or comparable luxury property strongly preferred
  • Seasonal menu development and farm-to-table sourcing experience — a genuine passion for ingredient-driven cuisine
  • A culinary leader who is as comfortable mentoring a junior cook as executing a private dinner for discerning ranch guests
  • Ready to embrace the Wyoming ranch lifestyle — the land, the seasons, and a quality of life that's genuinely hard to find anywhere else

Compensation & Benefits

  • $95,000–$100,000 base salary
  • 10% end-of-season guaranteed bonus
  • Subsidized on-site housing
  • 3 free meals per day
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance — starting day 1
  • 401(k) with company match after 1 month
  • Paid time off (PTO) with rollover
  • Unlimited referral bonuses
  • Access to hiking, mountain biking, and fishing on neighboring national forest land
  • Discounts on hotel rooms, dining, and travel
  • Growth opportunities across our luxury ranch and hotel network

At Brush Creek Ranch, we are an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion. All qualified applicants will be considered regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or veteran status. #WY500
