About this property

Mökki: Dovetail Log Cabin Downtown

Mökki is the perfect mix of cozy log cabin and hip downtown life. This charming abode is located along a quiet street - just a block away from main street. It is within a short walk of Grand Marais' restaurants, pubs, shops, sailboat harbor, North House folk school, the Art Colony and so much more.

The space
Mökki, a Finnish word for cottage, was hand crafted by the owner and is a masterful work of art. Enjoy some down time on the front porch or cozy up in the sleeping loft - this place has a lot of charm.

Surrounding the cabin is a large yard with garden beds and plenty of tree cover.

The cabin sleeps 2; there is 1 queen bed in the loft. Please note that the stairs to the bedroom are steep - it is not a ladder so rest assured that the steps can be descended normally, aka by facing forward.

The kitchen is equipped with a two-burner electric stove, a mini-fridge, a microwave, pots, pans, silverware, dishes, and glassware. For your coffee you can choose from a drip cone or a coffee maker.

This snug cabin has all you'll need for your northern getaway.

Guest access
As guests, you'll have private access to the cabin for the duration of your stay.

The Neighborhood:
A quaint, walkable area, the cabin is nestled just across from the local library and one street away from lake Superior and the old Gunflint Trail road.

House Rules:
No Smoking or Pets: Any cigarette or pet odor inside the home will result in a $250 fee.

A Cozy Retreat in the Heart of the Town - A Stay at Mokki: Dovetail Log Cabin

Nestled in the charming embrace of a small town, our stay at Mokki: Dovetail Log Cabin was nothing short of magical. This exquisite cabin, with its traditional dovetail log construction, offered a serene escape into nature without straying far from the quaint local shops and eateries that give the town its character. Surrounded by whispering trees and the gentle sounds of the countryside, the cabin was a cozy sanctuary, blending rustic authenticity with modern comforts. Inside, every detail, from the warm, inviting fireplace to the comfortably furnished bedrooms, was thoughtfully curated to enhance our experience. The hospitality and care from our hosts added a personal touch, making our stay at Mokki not just a vacation, but a home away from home in a picturesque small town setting.

Incredibly cute cabin.

Great experience at this well appointed, cute li’l cabin that is easily walkable from all the cool stuff in wonderful Grand Marais. One minor drawback was the mini fridge which was as cute and quaint as the rest of the cabin decor, but not particularly functional. It did not keep things cold and a pool of water formed on the lower shelf. Otherwise, our two-day stay was phenomenal!

The Mokki Dovetail was an awesome alternative to the typical hotel stay. We parked right in front of the cabin throughout our stay. We could walk all around Grand Marais and didn't need our car. Even though we were amazingly close to everything, it was very quiet and relaxing. The full kitchen was well stocked with what we needed. Bring your own Bluetooth speaker and enjoy this gem in town. We will definitely keep it on our list next time we visit.

The cutest cabin just down the block from Jaca Moose. We had so much fun on this beautiful town. To walk home each night to the most perfect little nest of a cabin was amazing.

Perfect for pair

My husband and I stayed for a few days and this was perfect. We anticipated being cold but it was plenty warm (yes, it was summer, but we're soft). Great location, in the heart of town but still quiet enough. A little bigger fridge would be nice, but was good for 3 nights.

Relaxing, quiet stay

Exactly as described. Bare necessities. We never ate there as so close to many restaurants and the brewery was great and practically next door. The loft bed was very comfortable. The pull out was as expected. We loved the deck chairs to relax. Some mosquitos. Still cool when we were there so was comfortable. Highly recommend!

relaxation

Enjoyed our stay very much. The stairs proved to be easier than anticipated! I did rearrange the furniture a bit. The only aspect we didn't like was a compressor(or something) at the brewery shut on and off every few seconds. Difficulty to sleep with that noise. Also, when we arrived, the door was unlocked already. Thank you for the unique experience.

Charming and cozy!

This was the absolute perfect place to stay while taking a weekend class at North House Folk School! It was just me for this trip, and the Dovetail Mokki cabin was the perfect size. It was so bright and cheerful inside, had everything I needed, and was conveniently located in the heart of Grand Marais (walking distance to everything!). Absolutely loved it and hope to stay again!
