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).

This is a beautiful secluded site! The host went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay! We spent the days (raining or not) watching the geese, swans, ducks, and herons come and go from the lake! The tiny town of Nevis packs a punch with cute stores, a few restaurants and the largest muskie for a cute photo opportunity! We don't have atvs, but it was obviously a great place for riding with tons of trails! I would highly recommend this site for tents and smaller campers as you have to back in to the site from a narrow road about 50 ft. or so. But as this was only our second time pulling this camper the host was gracious enough to help us back our travel trailer in, again, the host is AMAZING! There's a picnic table, fire pit (wood available for purchase), and a charcoal grill provided! Highly recommend! We will be back!

We had such a wonderful stay! The drive to the cabin was absolutely beautiful, and from the moment we arrived, the host was very welcoming and friendly. His dog, Piper, was so sweet and definitely added to the experience.
The cabin truly felt like a home away from home. The views were gorgeous, and we loved how quiet, peaceful, and relaxing everything was. It was the perfect place to slow down, enjoy the scenery, and just get away from it all.

This is the perfect relaxing vacation spot! I was able to get off the bike trail and go straight here to stay for a rest with the easy access to a kayak and large lake. It’s very quiet and I saw lots of wildlife like geese, deer, and squirrels. I could hear the loons calling and saw a few while kayaking as well. With low light pollution in this area I saw many stars on a clear night. The fire pit was very convenient along with being able to walk to the convenient grocery store just down the road.

Great experience. Allen met me at the campground to show me my campsite. Very nice host and communication throughout was spot on. Very spacious, well maintained and surrounded by trees. The property is a bit off the highway - far enough for privacy but the cars and trucks you do hear. My site #101 was the closest to the road. More spots were available further in. A large property to walk around, the site had everything for a nice campfire and the night sky was truly amazing!

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!
