Mokki: Cottage in the center
About this house rental
Nestled in Grand Marais, this charming house for $197 per night is a great option for your next trip. 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. Other things to note: *Kids Stay Free (12 years & under) Pets and/or smoking will result in a damage fee.

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!

This was our second year of staying at Mokki Cabin for a few days' Nordic Skiing and enjoying the winter vibe in Grand Marais. We just love the little cabin! I LOVE having a cheery fireplace (this one is gas so easy to use). We had everything needed for a great stay!

We had a wonderful stay in the cottage. Our kids mentioned several times how much they love the smell and how it made them feel cozy. The location made for perfect apres ski with pubs and restaurants within walking distance.

Great little spot. Brought our own little tv. There was a little mix up with over booking. Vrbo had us staying til Friday but on Thursday there was a knock on the door. The Owners had us checking out on Thursday. They let us stay and rearranged cabins for the people coming on Thursday. Not sure what happened but overall it was perfect for us.

This is a made-over lake cabin in the heart of downtown. Perfect size for two, with an airy alcove that catches the lake breezes. A wonderful brew/pub is located right behind the back yard!

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin and Grand Marais. The cabin was ordered from Montgomery Wards and built in 1938. A reminder the cabin does not have a TV. There were DVD's but nothing to play them on. Nice selection of books and puzzles. Cabin is easy walking distance to the lake, business's and eaterys. We enjoyed our stay.

Seriously - no need to drive to Angry Trout, Sven & Ole’s, Gunflint Lodge or the liquor store~ Hike Artists’ Point...etc - super simple base camp - great not to over think it~

Our only issue would be with the very small electric hot water tank. We had to space our showers apart enough for one of us not to run out. Otherwise, we had a really nice 4 days / 3 nights.

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 cottage was exactly the type of place I was looking for for a couple nights away solo. The placement of the windows made it feel like I was much more away from others than I actually was, which was perfect. I walked just a block and a half to the co-op to pick up groceries and used the thoughtfully stocked kitchen to cook and bake! The gas fireplace in the evenings set the perfect mood. My only suggestion would be to add one or even two more small lamps in the living area for evening reading. I just brought the one from the bedroom back and forth with me to light things up enough to read and do the crossword puzzle. You cannot beat Grand Marais for a relaxing getaway, and this was a great place to enjoy it. Thank you!

Cozy and a great location
The Mokki Cottage is adorable, with brightly painted trim in and out, and many little touches such as numerous shelves and hooks for the many things we brought. We cooked several excellent meals in the kitchen, LOVED the sunken breakfast nook, and enjoyed the gas fireplace very much. Even though visiting in the middle of winter, the cottage was toasty warm. Extra points for being around the corner from Voyageur Brewing! Will definately stay there again. Can't wait!
