Goldie is open for the summer!
Goldie is an original early 1900's wooden caboose that ran on the DMIR railroad. She was re-designed in 1912 to be safer on the tracks (and her length extended so she wouldn't fall over). She ran the tracks of the Iron Range until retirement in 1968. She's been fully renovated with a few modern conveniences.
We've re-used as much of the original wood as possible, and repurposed many things into other things so that we could keep the history alive. My husband is the carpenter that brought her to life and I'm the one that gave her some paint and design.
Now, she's ready for people again, and to keep telling her story to others. Please...be our guest...and let Goldie be your host. The caboose sits about 50 yards from the house, but it tucked into the trees and feels very private. There is a private trail that leads from the caboose to the lake.
Goldie has a max occupancy of 2 people due to space constraints. Please no pets since there are wooden floors. If you have a service dog, of course it is welcome - please reach out to me about that detail.
She also offers:
~ 1 very generous bundle of firewood included with stay (extra may be purchased for $5)
~ Hot and cold running water
~ A shower
~A/C and heat
~Hot water kettle for coffee, tea and cocoa (or oatmeal, etc)
~Paper dishes, plastic utensils and ceramic mugs
~Microwave
~Mini fridge
~One queen sized memory foam bed
~ Bath Towels, hand towels and wash towels
~Flush Toilet
~Fire ring, picnic table and lake access (kayaks available to use for free)
~Wifi access
** There is no cable TV, but we have a DVD player and some movies to choose from. Also there are some games to play.
We do have pets and they do run around the yard freely. There are two dogs that love to romp and say hi (a female Golden Retriever and a female Griffon mix) and a female cat that does the same. They are super friendly, but they will come to visit you at the lake.
Our lake is an "environmental lake" so while we keep a small beach area that you are welcome to use, it is not free of lily pads or weeds. It's simple, but fully swimm-able (the Golden Retriever keeps the first 8 feet of water weed free with her swimming!). You are welcome to use the dock and chairs we keep there for breezy evenings or to take a dip to cool off.
We are only 2i-sh miles from town with gas, food, ice cream, coffee shop, resaturants, small town shopping and a donut shop. There is a paved rail trail just down our street that runs both directions for many miles. Bikes are welcome! (please leave ATVs at home).

Few places can brag about autumn as astonishingly brilliant as the ones we enjoy Up North in the wilds of Minnesota.
And, this log cabin, built by local Minnesota craftsmen in 2013 and tucked into a wooded lot bordering Strawberry Lake, just 23 miles north of Detroit Lakes, welcomes you to a cozy getaway right in the center of some of the country’s most vivid fall beauty.
FALL COLOR TAKES CENTER STAGE
Every window at our Strawberry Lake Cabin frames a kaleidoscopic view of trees bursting into red, yellow, gold and orange. This is especially true of the cathedral windows encompassing the entire front of the cabin—from the main living area to the lofted bedroom. The vaulted ceiling and knotty pine/poplar/basswood walls increase the splendor of this part of the cabin, which also overlooks glittering Strawberry Lake.
Cozy up on the bench on the spacious deck facing the lake—a steamy mug of hot chocolate or coffee in hand—while the birds in the bright trees and on the mirrored water sing their last songs before heading south.
Or, on a sun-drenched day, sear some burgers on the gas grill and enjoy them on the screened porch. Then have a bonfire as the late-day sun’s gold light filters through the trees.
Did we mention the radiant, in-floor and wall heating? Nothing beats it on a chilly autumn morning, or when you return from a crisp afternoon hike. Leave your boots at the door and give your toes a treat!
A RETREAT FOR COUPLES, FRIENDS & FAMILIES; MOREOVER, A PLACE TO REUNITE WHERE EVERYONE CAN SPREAD OUT
Couples love it here at our Strawberry Lake Cabin. Experience the easy romance of tucking into nature together and shaking off the stresses of everyday life. Unbound lake views greet you in the morning from the cozy, lofted bedroom, and a clear Minnesota sky full of stars lulls you into a deep sleep.
Plenty of autumn activities await friends & family here, from hiking through golden forests, biking lovely back roads, to exploring Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge as animals scurry to prepare for the long winter ahead. Or, paddle our complimentary canoe on the lake!
If you’d like to capture the essence of that “feeling of premium” – a mist in the air or sheen that validates your choice to stay with us, contact us today to book your fall getaway!

Such a beautiful hideout in the woods. Paul was a wonderful host from his house nearby. Beyond that, we were surrounded by beautiful woods, the lake, and the quiet. Within an hour of Bemidji and even closer to Itasca State Park. Would recommend to anyone!

We adored our stay! Our highlights were cooking over the fire, wildlife watching (we saw a few loons, some frogs, a painted turtle, lots of fish, some deer and a beaver!). We loved the canoe — the lake is beautiful and serene. We even did a little fishing and caught 3 bluegill and cooked them up for dinner. Our senior pup, Hank, was also absolutely in heaven. We found the stay private, deeply connected to nature, comfortable, and romantic. If you’re looking for a place to unplug & recharge — this is a beautiful spot to do so!

Staying at Goldie the Caboose, was an absolute gift. The location is perfectly located on a clean, quiet lake and just off the Heartland Trail Bike/Walking path! Everything you would
need was supplied without any of the distracting extras. It was like camping but with a/c and running water—basically perfect! I loved my time connecting with nature and escaping the hustle of everyday life. Amy and Chris were so kind and their pups made missing my dog at home much easier! I can’t wait to come back next summer!

We loved our time at Amy and Chris’s property! Amy gave us great local recommendations for our adventure and we really enjoyed exploring the area. Goldie the caboose is beautiful- truly an incredible labor of love. Flipping through the photo book detailing her restoration/ renovation was super cool. We were incredibly cozy (the morning thunderstorm we experienced was amazing) and we really appreciated all of the amenities. The fire pit was great and listening to the loon calls was magical. We also loved meeting all of the pets! I will definitely be recommending this place to friends and family. 🙂

This is a wonderful rustic cottage on a beautiful little lake. It isn't fancy, but it has. everything you need to enjoy Northern Minnesota-style lake life. There are plenty of trails to explore on the property, and a canoe is included with the rental. Paul is a great host, and is eager to help with any issues and to keep you hip to the local music scene (Revel Brewing rocks, BTW). This location is in the middle of so much to do and to experience. I hope to return someday.

We had such a good time staying at Goldie on Shallow Lake! The caboose is a gem and staying here allowed us to enjoy quiet evenings around the fire and the opportunity to kayak on the lake and explore the many towns and parks around Nevis. Amy and her husband were the most courteous and accommodating hosts. If you’re looking for an outdoorsy feel in a glamping fashion with some historic charm, look no further than Goldie the Caboose!

Paul was an excellent host. The cabin is secluded in his private property, except for his place which is separated by 300+ yards of woods. It's a quaint cottage with the comforts of home, situated Less than 100 yards from a pristine lake (also private).
Enjoy a fire ring, canoes, and an occasional loon.

A beautiful and secluded place to stay! We watched and listened to the loons from the dock as often as possible, launched the kayaks from the dock a very short walk from the cabin. I definitely recommend having your morning coffee (or tea) on the edge of the dock while listening to all of the nature, absolute best way to start a morning in my opinion. The bugs weren't bad at all either until we got to the other side of the lake

Our stay at Paul's Lakeside Cottage exceeded every expectation! Paul is an incredible host and made us feel right at home. One of the highlights was a sunset cruise on the lake that we'll never forget.
The cottage was the perfect home base for exploring Itasca State Park and Bemidji, while still offering a peaceful place to relax. We saw so much wildlife—including a bear sitting on the beaver dam across the lake!
Our dog, Piper, absolutely loved her stay and had so much fun playing with Paul's sweet dog, Piper. She definitely wasn't ready to leave!

What an absolute peace of paradise we were lucky enough to experience for our 4th of July weekend. This cozy little cabin had everything we needed, and then some.
