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.

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.

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.

Great experience for my first time in Grand Marais!

My boyfriend and I had a lovely weekend stay at the Dovetail-Mokki location. It was such a great location, everything is so accessible and there was a great binder with a list of places to hike, eat, etc. The checkin and checkout process was incredibly easy as well. Can't wait to come back in the future!
