Amazing

This traditional Korean style Hanok was a quaint, peaceful stay with retro aesthetics combined with modern conveniences. We happened to rent the largest room on the property which has its own kitchenette, dining area and two queen sized beds. The bedding was clean and comfortable and the floors are heated with modern AC’s to blast (just in case you run hot and your spouse runs cold.) The other units seem like just rooms and futons with a communal kitchen right in the middle of the property. The property is almost in the middle of nowhere, but really what it means is that it’s a 15-20 minute walk from the main strip which you can enjoy just seeing the local neighborhood. Beside the property is a pretty cool coffee house which reminds me of the Korean version of the Getty Villa - which I joked with my as we sipped on our iced americanos. My pro tip is to skip the main strip and head over to the Chloe Family village for an early morning hike as you’re still trying to shake off the jet lag at 4 in the morning.

The location is good. The accomodation itself was great. The room and bathroom new, comfortable and practical. It looks like a traditional hanok but we wanted a bed and this option was great for us. My only issue is that it was very hard to check in. When we arrived no one was there, I called the number in my booking and they told me to go back at three. I went back at three and still no one was there. Another guest arrived and told us they had booked in a different platform and they were given checkin instructions as it was self-checkin. We never got these instructions through Expedia. So I would suggest the owners check and make sure to contact Expedia guests with instructions too.
