DENALI ORGANIC GROWERS needs help in the Denali Park area. We are
continually moving toward self sufficiency through earth friendly
practices. Nestled on 10 acres in an Aspen/Spruce forest we have
a small hand built log cabin, green house, chicken coop, and
organic garden. Our goal is to provide healthy, tasty food to our
local community, as well as, education about the benefits to self
and earth that come from natural organic practices. Throughout
the summer we are continually putting food up in preparation for
next season and for our personal winter storage. Projects
include: small construction, planting, harvesting, smoking fish,
subsistence fishing, curing meat, cabin building, small scale
brush clearing, composting, caring for chickens, canning
fish/meat, freezing veggies, picking berries, and making jam. We
ask that you join in our projects, share meals, and enjoy
yourself. Children are welcome; pets are not (due to the free
range chickens we have here). Our accommodations vary from
secluded tent sites, cozy bed in van, to our carpeted garage with
wood stove for heat (cold season only). We suggest you stay as
long as your schedule permits and our personalities mesh. If
interested in an in-depth education in organic gardening and off
the grid living check out our full season apprenticeship
positions. The garden is operational mid-May through September.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Gary, thank you so much for going above and beyond to
forward the email inquiries to me after my having submitted the
incorrect email address in our Help-Wanted ad. I am very pleased
to say after posting four ads in various places and receiving
over 300 replies, I have found our star through our ad in the
Gazette! Linda and John are the perfect candidates and have moved
to the final stage of the process. Pending the owner’s
approval, I believe we have found the new Managers for the Park
thanks to you! I will certainly be using your services again as
the quality of candidates from The Caretaker Gazette was
unparalleled! Thanks again, M. B., Calgary, Canada
Monique, thanks for letting me know that your ad in the
Gazette successfully resulted in your hiring two of our
subscribers. We hear that many of our property owners who
advertise in the Gazette have tried placing ads for caretakers
and housesitters in other media and most of them tell us that
they find their best people by advertising in the Gazette. Then,
when they need caretakers or housesitters in the future, they
come back to the Gazette to advertise for new openings. Please
spread the good word about the Gazette.
Just wanted to let you know that due to your publication, my wife
and I obtained the long-term caretaker position of a lifetime. We
are currently living at the Siltcoos Lake Learning Center in
Westlake, Oregon, operated by Lane Community College. Our cottage
could not be better and the work is minimal with only four cabins
to care for. We receive the cottage rent free along with all
utilities paid and a $500 stipend per month during the busy
season. It is the perfect supplement to my retirement pay. Thank
you again for your wonderful publication. W. and E. E., Westlake,
OR
Congratulations on finding the long-term caretaker position of
a lifetime, Wes and Eileen. That sounds great! Hope your move
from Iowa to the west coast went well. We have many retirees like
you who take similar positions out of the Gazette and between the
stipend and free housing offered by the property owner, and their
own retirement income, they can live quite well – even
during this current economic crisis. Please keep in touch –
you may find that you want to do a caretaker profile about your
new experience.
Hi Gary, as always you came through with flying colors. I found
what I think will be a great guy for the job. He had a great
resume and references so I think when he shows up – he will
be excellent. And I think the interior rebuilding will be
beautifully executed. Again my sincere appreciation to you and
your organization. Best wishes, B. V,. Big Timber, MT
Hi Barbara, thanks for the update. Glad to hear that your ad
in the Gazette resulted in your finding a great guy with an
excellent resume and references. It sounds like your interior
building project will be in great hands. Many property owners who
advertise with us have told us that they find the most skilled
and experienced people through the Gazette.

tip of Puerto Rico. A single male, or a couple would work best.
The Housesitter gets a first floor apartment, which has two
bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom and living room. The key reason for

be broken into. I need a housesitter to also do some minimal
gardening and grounds keeping in return for free rent, utilities,
cable TV and high speed wireless internet access. Local telephone
calls are included as well, and there’s a washer dryer in

the house sitter has exemplary skills with masonry, house
painting and carpentry… paying gigs abound for people with
these skills on the island. I have two other properties close by
that could utilize the services of people with these skills.

conscious people who are free of drug and alcohol problems. A

Hesse
Bret Ingold and Kristin Frasheski
The steam from the hot springs cave rose steadily up
through the bows of the cedar tree as Bret immersed himself in
the pool with a sigh. Kristin was silhouetted in the entrance of
the cave against the black and white dusk of summer. After four
months as caretakers of a remote wilderness cabin, campground and
hot springs, life had settled into a quiet rhythm. It is a
lifestyle not for everyone, but one in which the self-disciplined
and creative can thrive. How Kristin and Bret became prepared for
the challenges caretaking has presented, and where they would
like this lifestyle to take them is too long a story for these
pages. Along the way the story has involved a dusty old ‘87
Jetta with two flat tires in the middle of Namibia, a sailboat
with a broken autopilot half-way across the Atlantic, a reckless
taxi ride across Cambodia and many other important life-shaping
experiences.
Kristin and Bret met while in school finishing their
degrees in the fine arts in Portland, Oregon. After a camping
trip in Washington and a short road trip they decided to spend
four months traveling in Africa. It was a make or break kind of
trip that left them knowing a lot more about each other and the
world they were sharing.
Upon returning, Bret took over managing and operating a
small ocean resort his grandparents had built in the 1950’s
on Cape Cod. “Hospitality is in my blood, it’s a
family tradition,” he says. He also drew heavily from the
experience of founding and running an art gallery and studio
cooperative in Portland, OR. After completing massage school,
Kristin joined Bret at the motel. Kristin was instrumental in
helping the motel conduct an eco-audit and overhauled the
motel’s operations to lead Cape Cod’s hospitality
industries in ecologically sound practices. Being a seasonal
business, Kristin and Bret were able to spend their winters doing
what they loved, traveling and creating art.
After four years at the motel, they decided to move on to new
experiences and towards the future they wanted to create for
themselves. It was around the same time that they found out about
The Caretaker Gazette. They loved seeing all the opportunities in
the pages and began looking for a position. During the interim,
they were hired as studio assistants at a bronze foundry on Abaco
Island in the Bahamas where they apprenticed and made their own
sculptures. Life was good. While there they house-sat a
friend’s solar-powered cottage; Bret spear fished for
dinner and Kristin made and sold batik sarongs. As always, they
worked to leave the property better then they found it and
enjoyed some nice afternoons painting and working on the house.
An ad had come through the Gazette for a property in Washington
State that they had jumped on. It was the remote hot springs they
had gone to on their first camping trip together years before.
Months of correspondence had fizzled out and Bret and Kristin
began talking with a couple in Guatemala about renting and
running a small hotel. Then one morning, the family in Guatemala
sold the property and that afternoon, with perfect timing, the
hot spring’s director called asking if they wanted to take
the job. They were thrilled and accepted the position.
Living in an old growth forest, deep in the Alpine Lakes
Wilderness, has given them a summer they will never forget.
Waking up each day surrounded by such unspoiled natural beauty
and having such direct and constant contact with that environment
has been incredible. Bret and Kristin both agree it has given
them the opportunity to “slow down” and enjoy the
simpler sides of life. The position is also full of the
challenges of living off-the-grid and far from the conveniences
of modern life, but they enjoy it. Amongst the responsibilities
they have accepted is to always keep in mind their own and all
their visitors safety, especially in such a remote location.
Their unique collection of experiences, skills and interests lend
themselves perfectly to this isolation caretaking position where
self-reliance, good judgment and adaptability are essential for
both safety and sanity.
Bret and Kristin still enjoy perusing the Gazette when it
arrives, wondering what opportunity may reveal itself next.
After their time in Washington, they plan to stay busy
volunteering teaching English to Burmese political refugees in
Thailand. In the future, they hope to find a position that will
give them more experience in sustainable examples of business.
They look at caretaking and working for unique properties not
only as a way to offer outstanding service but as market research
for starting their own business. It will be a business that
combines aspects of their background in hospitality, travel,
interests in sustainable food production and building, and
artistic abilities. In the meantime, they keep their eyes and
ears open for the next open door.

Caretaker/ Property Manager Position Wanted. For the past
10-years I have acted as Operations Manager for a condominium
development company in Austin Texas. As such, I was responsible
for managing all aspects of multiple, complex projects. This was
accomplished through my thorough understanding of Construction
and Maintenance Related Practices, Methodologies, Materials,
Tools and Equipment. Prior to this position, I was Director of
Site Development (4-years) for a large insurance and human
resource management company. My duties not only included
traditional commercial property management, but also required I
play a key role in the re-design and build-out of new or existing
commercials spaces as the company grew and expanded into new
markets. I assumed the Director of Site Development after having
spent the previous 8-years as Property Manager, recruited to
develop and maintain all facilities on a 2,000 acre campus
outside Santa Fe. The facilities included 12 buildings comprised
of living quarters for a full-time staff of 40 and approximately
100 guests for each conference, a restaurant for guests, a
cafeteria for employees, classrooms, audio-video production
facilities, pool, tennis courts and stable facility. Prior to
this engagement, I managed a 10,000 acre cattle operation in
Central New Mexico and was responsible for all maintenance
aspects of a working ranch. My duties included range management,
herd health and productivity, building repairs, fence
maintenance, water allocation and distribution, and just about
any other activity related to the successful operation of a
ranch. I am seeking a position that would utilize my knowledge,
skills and abilities as outlined above and believe I would be a
valuable asset to your operation (ranch, resort, lodge,
cabins…?). I would require housing and a salary
(negotiable) and am prepared to re-locate to any of the western
states, and would be available full time beginning May 1, 2009.
