The properties description was completely accurate. We had a wonderful stay. The owner was very hospitable and made sure we had everything we needed. I was a litter nervous about the mosquitos because of the reviews as I am allergic but the owner keeps them well under control. If you want an authentic experience close to everything I would recommend this guesthouse.

The place was clean and welcoming and very quaint with old style architecture. The location was amazing! I would skip on the free breakfast and the bed futons were not that comfortable and so i wouldnt stay there for more than 2-3 nights

昔ながらの韓屋を体験したくこの宿に決めました。 宿の方は、日本語はほとんどできませんが、全く問題はありませんでした。 部屋はオンドルで、暖かく心地良かったです。 お風呂は洗面所についてるシャワーだけなので、チムジルバンに行きました。それは予定してた事なので、それも問題なしです。 日本から手土産でちょっとしたお菓子を持って行ったら、留守の間に部屋の前に韓国のお菓子が置いてあり感動しました。 心遣いに感謝します。 ありがとうございました😊
