The Mökki Cottage is an excellent home base from which to explore and enjoy Grand Marais - whether that’s summer festivals, fall colors, fat biking, or Nordic skiing. Located only steps away from the harbor, this quaint home offers a rural feel while being within minutes of restaurants, cafes, pubs, shops, the North House Folk School, the Art Colony, and so much more.

The space
This cozy house has great curb appeal with its colorful and cheery Scandinavian design. Its warm interior finish has preserved some of the original 1938 construction such as maple hardwood flooring throughout.

The home offers a nice balance of natural light through plentiful windows while still offering privacy from the lovely wooded property. The raised bed garden, wildflowers, clover ground cover, yellow roses, and mountain ash trees fill the yard giving it a wonderfully wild and natural feel.

The home has a cafe/booth-style eating nook with wrap-around windows…perfect for quaint dinners or for reading and writing.

The galley-style kitchen has a bar stool seating area; ideal for hanging out during meal preparation or simply for sipping your morning coffee.

Sit back in the open-concept living room or in the summer, relax on the lovely front porch in a comfy hanging chair.

The cabin is designed for 2 but can handle up to 4 guests who are looking for a more affordable stay. There is a double pull-out sofa with a mattress topper in the living room - offering limited privacy and comfort for the additional guests.

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

Neighborhood overview
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.

Getting around
The beauty of this house lies not only in its charm, but also in its accessible location. Shops, restaurants and the beach are just a short walk from the cabin. You can head up the Gunflint Trail with access to the Boundary Waters by car, just minutes from the house.

    The history of the cottage was a fun to imagine. It started its life as a Montgomery Ward catalog bungalow/cottage. The current finish is adorable.

    The host ensured I was informed about my initial reservation, then a couple days prior to arrival, an email arrived with instructions on entry and other useful notes. The Cottage is charming, close to everything in Grand Marais, and was well suited for my week long stay.Due to significantly cold, well below zero temps, I did not get as much outdoor activity in but that was on me! I walked a great deal, supported the local shops, and had a great solo retreat.

    cute and snug cottage that had everything we needed for two days in the off-season. beds very comfortable, including the sofa bed, which was honestly a shock (it is very hard to find a comfy sofa bed). they’ve made excellent use of the small space and the nerd in me loved staying in a Montgomery Ward kit house! wifi needs updating.

    We enjoyed our stay at the Mokki cottage! The directions of how to get there and details about parking, heating, etc. were very detailed and helpful. The cabin was very clean and had most kitchen items we needed. It is a very cute cabin with lots of character and interesting decor! The history of how it was built and renovated is very interesting so take the time to read about it in the informational notebook that is provided about the cabin and Grand Marais area. It is also helpful to know about things to do and places to eat in the area. There is no tv in the cabin and the wifi connection is not the greatest so if someone really needs to be connected with the outside world, this may not be the place for them! Also there is just a small mini fridge with a very small ice box. No ice maker.

    Please check the coffee pot. It may be me, but I couldn’t get it to work. I think it’s the switch. (Yes, I did plug it in )

    Clean, cozy, unique & close to the downtown area (shopping, restaurants, activities etc.). If you’re staying while there’s an event or festival in town (like we did), be aware there is NO OFF STREET PARKING (or reserved on street parking for the property) so you may have to park a few blocks away like we did.

    The cottage just was great, from its origin story - it was built from a Montgomery Ward catalog kit! - to its current whimsical decor. Even though you are right downtown, the trees make it seem you're out in the woods.

    Cozy, comfy, quaint. Nicely decorated and appointed, but not fancy, just the way we like it! Everything we needed and felt like home!
