Nestled just steps from Lake Superior's pristine shores, with public beach access only a few minutes' walk away, this unique stay offers an unparalleled blend of vintage allure and modern comfort. Perfectly positioned just a half-mile stroll from Canal Park, the iconic Lift Bridge, restaurants, and attractions, this is the only train car stay in Duluth, promising a truly unforgettable experience for history buffs, couples, families, and anyone seeking a distinctive escape. Once a passenger car rolling along Park Point's tracks, this historic train car has been lovingly restored to preserve its original character. Imagine settling into a living room adorned with authentic woodwork, vintage windows, and original train hardware, all crafted into a cozy, tiny-home-style retreat. The Sleeping Car bedroom on the main level features twin bunk beds, evoking the nostalgic charm of a bygone era, while upstairs, a private master bedroom with a custom-made king bed offers modern comfort with a nod to the train's elegant past. Local craftsman Alan Jensen has masterfully blended vintage train elements with custom furniture and local art, creating a space that feels both timeless and unique. The Train Car Retreat isn't just a place to stay—it's a journey back in time. A fully equipped kitchen with heated floors and patio access opens to a delightful outdoor space, perfect for soaking in the sights and sounds of Duluth's working harbor. Savor your morning coffee on the patio while listening to the reveille of the nearby Army Corps of Engineers or the Coast Guard's announcements echoing across the water. Watch massive ships salute the Lift Bridge as they glide through the harbor, or embrace the occasional “Bridged” moments—lasting 5 to 25 minutes—when the bridge rises for passing vessels, offering front-row seats to the rhythm of Park Point life. Just across the street lies the best public beach access on Park Point, with seven miles of white sand beach beckoning for exploration, alongside a playground and picnic area for family-friendly fun. The updated bathroom, complete with heated floors and a spacious walk-in shower, ensures modern comfort after a day at the beach. This tiny-home train car, with its twin bunk beds and upstairs master, maximizes space without sacrificing style, making it ideal for a cozy, memorable getaway. This is more than a vacation home—it's a rare opportunity to live inside a piece of Duluth's history, right on the edge of Lake Superior. Whether you're a Harry Potter fan enchanted by the train's whimsical charm or a history lover captivated by its storied past, this Train Car Retreat offers a one-of-a-kind experience in one of Duluth's most coveted locations.
