Grand Marais, Minnesota
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.
Great location. The cabin in small but meets the needs a person would want for a nice getaway. Walking distance to downtown and right behind a brewery with great food and beer.
We truly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. We parked the car and walked all over Grand Marais! We love coming to the North Shore and the cottage was perfect for all our needs, will definitely stay again!
Cozy cottage.
Clean. Comfortable. Convenient. Quiet. And cute
My roommates and I enjoyed our stay immensely! This cottage was very well kept and is in a convenient location. I would definitely recommend this location to my friends and family looking for a secluded getaway near a cozy town.
We have stayed in the Mokki cottage 3 years in a row for winter getaways. We love the cute and clever space, the convenient and cozy gas fireplace and the fabulous location within the town of Grand Marais, MN
Charming little cottage that is close to the harbor. We loved that we were walking distance to downtown and the harbor. Great communication and responsiveness. Thank you, Mokki Cottages!
Quiet area, pretty yard, everything we needed!
Clean, cute and comforting! Everything you need to have a happy spot while on vacation. Close to downtown. A grill you can use outside.
We loved everything about this place. It was clean, centrally located, cozy (love the gas fireplace), perfect amount of amenities and convenient layout. Can’t get past the awful mattress. We arrived on a Friday night…tossed and turned on what seemed like a spongy sheet of plywood…then hiked a solid day on Saturday…and tossed and turned Saturday night too. We woke up feeling like we’d not slept a wink…sore and tired. The place is great and we’d come back - but only if there is a decent mattress that enables a good night’s sleep.
This quaint little cabin served us during our short getaway. It is portrayed accurately on the listing, and communication with the property manager was great. It was small, simple, and cozy during a blustery weather system that came through the area. Gale force winds out on the majestic lake Superior, rains along the shoreline, and snow up on the Gunflint were kept at bay here in this little retreat. The small cabin provides all you need. Although it has wifii, it does not have a television - and we survived! :) Thank you for sharing this cute retreat with us!
