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.

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!

The cutest cabin just down the block from Jaca Moose. We had so much fun on this beautiful town. To walk home each night to the most perfect little nest of a cabin was amazing.

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!

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!

Charming and cozy!

This was the absolute perfect place to stay while taking a weekend class at North House Folk School! It was just me for this trip, and the Dovetail Mokki cabin was the perfect size. It was so bright and cheerful inside, had everything I needed, and was conveniently located in the heart of Grand Marais (walking distance to everything!). Absolutely loved it and hope to stay again!
