Birthday vacay
The Mökki cabin was a breath of air and a wonderful getaway. Bathing in the sauna was unexpectedly refreshing, be sure to keep the sauna steamy while you wash up! The cabin is a stroll away from the historic Hovland dock which is great for fishing or watching the sunset. Will definitely be back!

I would have loved the stay rather than a mouse eating through our food on the first night.

Awesome winter getaway!
Property is exactly as described, if the listing sounds good to you and you know what you are getting into then I would highly recommend. The cabin was cozy with the gas stove giving off plenty of heat but the sauna was the highlight for me. Going back and for between the sauna and sitting outside in the falling snow is magical. Great communication with the host and the space had plenty of thoughtful amenities (rags, cleaning supplies, ziplocks, etc..) Would recommend!

Peaceful retreat
We enjoyed a peaceful stay. It was fun to take away some of the things we are used to and just enjoy the simple things. Beautiful area. We enjoyed the sauna! Only downfall was the road noise. We definitely would return.

Simplicity
Mokki is a simple and love filled experience. We missed a view of the “superior lake from our window but was pleased to have the Hovland Dock just moments walk away.

Beautiful Cozy Cabin
We stayed the first weekend in May, 2022. The cabin is in the perfect spot as a base for day hiking the upper SHT sections with two cars. That was our plan but we will have to try again, the trail was too muddy. We did enjoy a few of the other trails in the area though. Be careful on the icy and soft forest roads!!! The cabin stays really warm, especially if you cook with the stove. Great for cooler temperatures, not sure how it would feel in the heat of summer, it has no AC. The Sauna was nice. It got warm, but not steamy for us. Our fire skills are not the best. I really enjoyed the simplicity of everything and the use of solar power for the lights inside the cabin! If you do not like the quiet 100% of the time, download a movie(s) and/or bring some music. Verizon doesn’t get service north of Grand Marais. I did get one bar just down from Judge CR Magney State Park, on road 59. Enough to call home to check in.

Will be back again!
This place was amazing, but there is no refrigerator as stated in the listing and shown in the photos. You should change this info! We did not come up with enough ice to keep our food in the cooler, and had to drive up to Grand Portage to get some. Our trip was not to be derailed by this detail though - it was a beautiful stay! We'll be back sometime for sure.

5 star for us
Great stay if you can handle being off the grid and without power or running water. Sauna jump in Lake Superior, repeat. After long hikes, this stay was great. Chicago Bay general store had all we needed. So quiet and easy to disconnect.

Weekend Getaway
My husband and I stayed at Mökki for a weekend getaway in February and it was truly wonderful. Not only is it located close to Lake Superior but it’s also really conveniently located between Grand Marais and Grand Portage. When you stay here you really feel that you are “off the grid” as there is no cell service. Since we stayed in the winter, the sauna was a great amenity. Please note, since there is no electricity you can not plug in a vehicle in the extreme cold so be sure to bring a battery booster if needed.

Quiet and relaxing
We had a wonderful stay! It was the perfect place to get away from the city for a bit and unplug. Beautiful location. The house had everything we needed to cook in, and close enough to Grand Marais to grab a bite one evening.

Great cabin in the woods
We booked this cabin for a 3 night stay over Memorial Day weekend. It was easy to get to, very clean when we arrived, and close to state parks and trails for day hikes. It was great to “unplug” and enjoy nature but still have some modern conveniences. Great little cabin!

Amazing!
This little cabin was everything we could ask for! My boyfriend rented it in August as a birthday gift to me! We spent the day outside having drinks and the evenings in the sauna! We look forward to going back in the winter!

A great place to unplug
This lovely little cabin was the perfect place to unplug for a few days, while taking classes at the North House Folk School in Grand Marais. It was an easy 20 min drive from town. On a quiet little side street near the Hovland Dock, the cabin was neat, comfortable and very clean. We thought the "outhouse / sauna" was perfect, we brought a submersible camp shower pump that made a quick rinse after the sauna and washing my hair easy. Gas stove, small fridge worked great, all in all a great stay!

Hovland cabin
Fantastic craftsmanship, really enjoyed the essentials of life. Cabin was well stocked with pots pans etc. the bed is extremely comfortable as is the reading chair. Gas appliances were top notch. couple things that would have made it a five star for us, we wish we could have outdoor campfires, blinds on side windows By bed , and having to haul your garbage home with you, but that’s cabin life😀. Overall, would recommend!

Wonderful Cabin
Wonderful cabin, we enjoyed our stay. Note for others, you wont need to really bring any ancillary lighting, maybe a headlamp for going to and from the sauna/outhouse. You can also leave most of your cooking items behind. The kitchen is well stocked.
