Nogodan Guesthouse & Hotel in Gwansan-ri, Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do offers a panoramic view of Jirisan Mountain. Majority of the guests are families who visit the area for the hiking trail called Gurye Dullegil during weekends or vacation. One of the most outstanding features of this guesthouse is that it supplies hot spring water containing germanium, so guests can relax in a bathtub filled with hot spring water after hiking. The guesthouse also has a rooftop garden from which you can enjoy the landscape of Jirisan Mountain. There is a bus going to Nogodan Peak, and a round-trip ticket costs KRW 15,000. Note, however, that the bus doesn't run during winter, so it's the best time of the year for serious hikers who prefer walking rather than taking a bus. The owner of the guesthouse sometimes serves as mountain guide upon the request of his guests. And Located on the ground floor of Nogodan Guesthouse, BUEN CAMINO is a restaurant & pub for travelers. Dishes are cooked to order, with ingredients produced in Gurye near Mt. Jirisan. Seasonal vegetables and side dishes are served with the following main dishes: Jirisan Black Pork BBQ, Jirisan Zucchini Stew, and Jirisan Pan-dried Zucchini. It is possible to order for one person for every item on the menu. If you are going to have Jirisan Black Pork BBQ, you'd better make a reservation in advance so that you can save time and enjoy the meal in a more pleasant and comfortable atmosphere. Sansuyu Makgeolli goes well with all the dishes served.

Located in Jung-gu, Ulsan City and built and operated by Jung-gu Office, Eoryeondan Guesthouse was opened in August 2014 to offer guests an opportunity to enjoy a hanok stay and various traditional Korean experiences. The house was named ‘Eoryeondang,’ meaning a “house abounding with beautiful words,” after Eoryeoncheon Stream (previously Dongcheon Stream).’ This two-story hanok building was built with granite construction materials including the staircases, fence, and external pillars, creating a solid and majestic impression. Located next to the house is Sanjeonsaem Spring, which was found over 400 years ago and used to supply the house with drinking water, but it was transformed into a garden after the spring ran dry.

The house of Yehbon(예본의 집) is a guesthouse in a single-story residential house. The owner of the guesthouse has stayed at many guesthouses in the US while traveling and loved how they decorated the rooms according to the unique characteristics of the region. This is why she furnished the rooms with a traditional Korean cabinet inlaid with mother-of-pearl and other furniture that are more than 100 years old and covered with mantles that she herself embroidered. The antique furniture is one of the outstanding features of this guesthouse, which has two guestrooms, living room, kitchen, and two bathrooms. Many guests are from India, Canada, America, Netherlands, and Russia, including Koreans living abroad, and they say they find this place very comfortable. It's like homestay, but the owner of the guesthouse tries to provide enough privacy for those who wish to be left alone as well. It’s very conveniently located in Gangnam with access to public transportation within the vicinity and close to the subway station(3rd Daecheong station).
I give my guests space but I am available when needed. Privacy is protected. You can always communicate with the host. The guests stay in the 1st floor, and the host lives in the 2nd floor.

(20 steps) There're a lot of delicious inexpensive restaurants and a CU convenience store just in front of the house.

The Moon Guesthouse is situated near a number of interesting tourist destinations including Unhyeongung Palace (3min on foot), Bukchon Hanok Village (5min on foot), Changdeokgung Palace (5min on foot), and Changgyeonggung Palace (10min on foot). The guesthouse was named ‘moon’ (‘door’ in English) because it has many 176 doors and windows. Upon entering by the gate, visitors will see a ‘ㄷ’-shaped hanok building in the courtyard, in which a wooden bedstead and a table are placed. On the opposite of the hanok building there is a wall roofed with tiles engraved with Korean patterns such as deer, pine, turtle, etc. Flowers in the flowerbed lined up along the wall are in bloom and the bonsai are also well-kept in the house. Renovated and opened as a guesthouse in September 2011, Moon Guesthouse consists of a bonchae (main building) and a byeolchae (detached house). The rooms are decorated with red clay and hanji (traditional Korean paper handmade from mulberry trees), and have under-the-floor heating (ondol). Each room is equipped with an air-conditioner, and has a 40cm-thick layer of red clay over the ceiling for insulation, making the rooms cool in summer and warm in winter. The house has seven individual guestrooms and five modern bathrooms, but the entire building (bonchae or byeolchae) can be rented, too. In particular, the unhyeondang of the bonchae is very popular as it can be converted into one large space for special events, group workshops, etc. simply by opening all the sliding doors (Bunhapmun – Goryeo construction style). This room, which is decorated with a flower-patterned windscreen, a landscape painting, and calligraphy, has been used as a shooting location for various TV programs including KBS2’s TV reality program Man’s Qualification and its variety show The Human Condition. The guestrooms are also equipped with traditional furniture including a cabinet inlaid with mother-of-pearl. The guesthouse also provides a variety of experience programs from 11am to 3pm, including tea ceremony, wearing Hanbok (traditional Korean clothes), making kimchi and gochujang (red chili paste), playing a traditional musical instrument, making a rubbing of a stone inscription, calligraphy, drawing orchids on a fan, and so on. The house has about seventy hanbok and other clothing accessories, as well as a royal costume.
