Owner and manager were both very kind and gracious hosts. We were invited to dinner with another foreign guest couple (who didn't show for the meal). The owner was previously a chef and prepared a traditional Korean meal. After dinner the owner toured us through the on-site wine cellar. Note that dinner is not part of the room rate. The owner had offered the meal to the other guests (who didn't show) and we were simply asked to join.

The house was in an amazingly good shape with their traditional architectural style intact! While the bathrooms were not attached to the bedrooms because the house could not be remodeled to change the existing structure (as it is designated as a Protected Traditional House), each bedroom had an assigned private bathroom with a good shower and fancy amenities. This probably is the closest you can get living like a Josun Dynasty aristocrat in the modern day Korea. The owner lady was very helpful in providing tips for restaurants and things to do and see and very attentive to our comfort. While it is conveniently located (if you have a rental car) to explore the whole South Western provinces of Korea (UNESCO World Heritage Site tidal flats!), I thought that just staying in the house perched on the wooden floor looking out beautiful trees and drying persimmons with a book in hand itself was a huge treat. I would definitely stay here again!

I liked how this is a real home built for a member of this small farming community. It felt like a privilege to stay here. While there were limited modern or Western comforts (I was way too tall for the doorways and hit my head multiple times), we chose to stay here to have a traditional Korean experience and adapted out expectations accordingly. The host was very friendly and helpful. The setting is beautiful and peaceful. We woke up to the sound of birds.
