If you’re a Minnesota train lover, you’ll find plenty to enjoy all across the Land of 10,000 Lakes. There are several train-themed parks, restaurants, and museums. There are even trains that you can climb aboard for an exciting ride. And perhaps best of all, there are trains that you can stay in overnight! We have a few places to choose from, but today we want to focus on the Little Lost Caboose, a fully updated train caboose that you can stay in! The train is on Minnesota’s North Shore and offers wonderful views of Lake Superior from above. Here’s what you need to know when you visit:

Little Lost Caboose is a charming cabin house in a train caboose. It's on a hill overlooking the North Shore, perfect for a northern getaway to relax, recharge, and take in some of Minnesota's most scenic landscape.
