Workaways at Big Sky

15 acres is a lot to manage for two people, so now and then we offer a workaway for individuals and groups, exchanging free glamping accommodation for a few hours of help each day.

The work is varied and prior experience isn’t necessary, just a smile and a good work ethic. The list of jobs is long over here and what you’d be contributing to would depend on when you visit. It could be gardening, building a new thing (probably out of pallets), woodland work, looking after our animals or tending to newly planted trees.

The accommodation you’ll stay in depends on the time of year and availability, but outside of your ranch hours you’re free to do what you would on a normal camping/ glamping holiday. Write, relax, read, dream. We’ve got good wifi in the barn if you’re a remote laptop-tapper. We should say that most of our workaway days are adults only, just to make sure we get the work done!

If you’re interested in enjoying a workaway at Big Sky and contributing towards a really cool project, fill in the form below and we’ll let you know what we’ve got coming up.

Everytime we travelled or found ourselves on a housesit we’d go the extra mile, tidying up a garden or offering one of our skills in exchange for a roof over our head. Now we have one of our own we’re looking for folks who feel the same as we do. If you love the idea of exchanging time for an experience, learning skills and doing good work in the great outdoors, the Big Sky Hideaway has it all.

Upcoming workaway dates

We’re hoping to welcome helpers for these winter and spring dates, to help us prepare the place before the campsite opens in early April. You might be here alone (with Dave and Em) or there might be others, too. We’re open to individual workaways throughout the warmer months too, but this will depend on our needs and availability. Do let us know what suits you best via the form below.
