Welcome to the Hokkori Nook

Welcome to the Hokkori Nook—a cozy, dog-friendly private apartment in our home, inspired by our Danish and Japanese roots. Enjoy your own entrance, bedroom, bath, living area & well-equipped kitchen. We're steps from the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, a short walk to parks, restaurants & transit to BYU, UVU & Provo. We live upstairs with our two friendly dogs, so expect occasional sounds of real life. A quirky DIY retreat with hygge, mountain views & access to our pool table when it works for all. The space The Hokkori Nook is a private apartment within our home, with its own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and dining area, and comfortable living room. Relax on the sofa or beanbag chair, watch the large TV, or browse our small collection of books and games. The compact kitchen is well equipped for real cooking, with a two-burner induction cooktop, countertop oven/air fryer, microwave, full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, coffee maker, cookware, dishes, and kitchen basics. Although the Nook is on the lower level, it doesn't have the closed-in feeling of many basement apartments. The bedroom has a full-size above-ground window that provides plenty of natural light, with additional windows in the kitchen and bathroom. We're right up against the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, so you can step outside and quickly head off for a hike, run, mountain-bike ride, or walk with your dog along the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains. Spring Creek Park and nearby restaurants are about a 10-minute walk away. Bus stops are also about a 10-minute walk away, with connections toward BYU, UVU, Provo Station, Spanish Fork, and shopping at Walmart and Smith's in Springville. The Hokkori Nook isn't a polished, cookie-cutter hotel suite—and that's intentional. We've created much of the space ourselves, so you'll find handmade touches, Danish and Japanese influences, and a few charming DIY quirks and imperfections. We hope they make the Nook feel more like a home than a hotel room. We live upstairs and use the other portion of the basement. Your apartment and entrance are completely private, but we are all under the same roof, so you may occasionally hear the normal sounds of everyday life. We observe quiet hours and ask our guests to do the same. We also share our home with two very friendly dogs who have appointed themselves official neighborhood greeters and occasionally feel obligated to announce when someone walks past the house. We're dog lovers and happily welcome well-behaved four-legged travelers. The Nook accommodates a maximum of 2 people and 2 dogs. Laundry is available upon request—just send us a message and we'll be happy to arrange access. If you're looking for a relaxed, dog-friendly place with some DIY personality, a little Danish hygge, a little Japanese charm, and the Utah mountains practically in the backyard, we'd love to welcome you to the Hokkori Nook. Guest access Guests have private access to the entire apartment, including the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen/dining area, and living room. One off-street parking space is provided. The private entrance is reached along the side of the house and around to the backyard, where a staircase leads down to the apartment entrance. We use the upstairs and the other portion of the basement as our private living space, so these areas are not normally part of the rental. We do have a pool table in our private portion of the basement. Because it's in our personal living space, it isn't an included amenity, but guests may be able to use it when it works for everyone. You're welcome to play on your own, with your travel companion, or with us if we're around and everyone feels like a game.
