Perched up on timbers, this cozy little A-frame offers a perfect blend of urban loft and rustic cabin living. Offering a bird’s eye view of the harbor and famous lighthouse from both the deck and the loft bedroom, the Birdhouse is a charming home base for your Grand Marais adventure.

The cabin is nestled in an alley just a few steps from downtown restaurants, shops, harbor, breweries, coffee shop, North House Folk School, Art Colony and much more.

The space
The centerpiece of the Birdhouse is the contemporary burgundy tub, perfect for sipping your morning coffee. Note that there is no shower.

The wall of south-facing windows lets the natural light pour in, perfect on a cold winter day! In the summer, the south-facing deck is there for you to enjoy your happy hour drinks before you hit the night scene.

The interior finish features a Nepali theme with porter baskets, a yak wool blanket and a large singing bowl as the sink. The warmth of an all-wood finish is created by the birch floors, wood-paneled walls, and large loft timbers. The abstract-shaped windows bring a nice modern balance.

The kitchen is fully stocked. Mökki offers a bar fridge, propane stovetop, kettle, drip cone coffee maker, pots, pans, dishes, and spices. Note that there is a 4 slice toaster oven in lieu of a conventional oven.

The sound of the harbor seagulls is sure to make you feel like you are on an oceanfront stay.

Guest access
Guests have entire space to themselves.

Other things to note
Your adventure begins by walking 25yards down a laneway from the on-street parking, making your way up one flight of stairs to this quaint little abode. After a heavy snowfall, the alleyway is not driveable.

Also, be aware that there are steep ladder steps to the upstairs bedroom loft. The A-frame design means the loft bed is near the floor.

We recommend you pack light! The Birdhouse is tiny, at 230sqft; it sure is cozy.

    Cool space, parking restriction odd bouncing from one side of street to the other in such an untraveled area.

    Quaint, quiet place. Kitchen had everything I needed. Balcony was perfect! This was a great place to just stay in, but it was also close enough to downtown to walk when I wanted people. Will stay again!

    I loved staying in this lovely, quiet, small cabin. Just a short walk from North House Folk School where I was taking class, it felt right in line with the folk atmosphere of my class. Rustic, super clean, beautifully handbuilt, relaxing bathtub, comfy bed up in loft, and the view!

    We spent a wonderful week in Grand Marais, and this cabin was one of the biggest highlights. It was warm and inviting, uniquely decorated and provided everything one could need. Walking distance to downtown and a stones throw from Java Moose.

    Very cute and quirky get away. Loved how close we were to town, did a lot of walking. The description in Vrbo was very accurate of the property but was perfect for what we needed. Would stay here again.
