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.

Beautiful quaint cabin!

This place was perfect for our short 2-night stay. The kitchenette allowed us to prepare our own meals, but we were within walking distance to the entire town! Had everything we needed for a cozy city escape!

Fantastic in-town cabin

The Mokki Dovetail cabin was the perfect place for a solo trip to Grand Marais. It was very clean, cozy, and walking distance to almost everything in town. I was taking a class at North House Folk School and this cabin couldn't have been more convenient. Highly recommended!

Great!

Property was great! Stairs are a little steep to the bedroom so if mobility is an issue it probably isn’t the place for you (this is mentioned on the listing as well). We really enjoyed our stay!

Excellent, unique property close to the harbor and surrounding entertainment district with privacy and a hot shower that never fails. Walk to every restaurant and brewery. No need to drive in Grand Marais. Highly recommend.

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.

Arctic blast

I express an overall favorable impression of this property. Beautifully built by crafts people. The layout serves two adults. The floor is cold during an arctic blast so bring slippers! I would not hesitate to stay here again. IF I lived in this cute little Scandinavian cabin, I would white wash the oak cabinetry. I have never before seen such a sexy looking mini fridge!

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!

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!
