Historic Caboose Steps from Lake Superior
Step back in time aboard a beautifully restored 1948 Great Northern caboose on Minnesota’s North Shore Just steps from Lake Superior (separated by HWY 61) and only 1/2 mile from some of the area's best scenic spots at Kadunce River. This cozy one-bedroom retreat sleeps up to 4 (2 adults, 2 children), with original railroad character, vintage details, kitchenette, Wi-Fi, and private patio. Just outside, a private bathhouse offers a deep soaking tub and shower. 10 minutes from downtown.
The space
The caboose is a cozy, one-bedroom retreat with original railroad character and vintage details throughout. The living area includes a comfortable sitting space, and kitchenette, with sleeping accommodations for up to four guests — a maximum of 2 adults and 2 children. The bedroom is complete with a full size Premium Purple® mattress & Purple® pillows as well as a smart television and high speed wifi. The living room has a futon for extra sleeping space.
The Bathhouse
The private bathhouse is located just outside the caboose and includes a full bathroom with a deep soaking tub and shower. It is exclusively yours during your stay, but does require stepping outside to access.
The Setting
The caboose sits along Highway 61 in the Grand Marais lakeshore corridor, with Lake Superior just across the road. You’ll hear the passing vehicles, especially during the day, but you’re also perfectly positioned to explore the North Shore.
The Outdoors
A private patio provides space to be outside and enjoy the woods. Lake Superior shoreline access and hiking trails. Galleries, beaches, and downtown Grand Marais are all just 10 min away.
A Historic Stay
This is a historic railroad car, not a newly built cabin. The caboose is intentionally intimate and full of character, with some of the charming quirks that come with staying in a piece of railroad history. If you love places with a story, you’ll feel right at home here.
Other things to note
Maximum occupancy is 4 guests: up to 2 adults and 2 children. We cannot accommodate groups of 3 or more adults.
