Why they chose this property
mökki (Finnish)
Noun: mökki
A small, usually wooden house; cottage, cabin next to water
Mokki was inspired by my Finnish grandparents who enjoyed entertaining anyone who visited with their Finnish traditions. Their mokki, was off grid rustic cabin nestled in the forest on Trout Lake in Thunder Bay Ontario. We used to spend the summers chasing fire flies, fishing for tadpoles, and wandering through the forest. No matter season, my grandfather always had the wood burning sauna/steam bath ready for anyone to warm up and relax in.
