Does bring me to another point... It's waaaay smarter to go here by car. That way you can visit more places. Not my finest travel planning moments. But we live and we learn.

It is such a beautiful place, very quite and surrounded on all sides by the mountains. I was very lucky with the weather and could enjoy the beautiful views. The host was very friendly and helpful - you can honestly ask him anything. Even to get you from the train or like he did for me, bring me to the train station. Very yellow sunflower room was appriciated.

Due to being a pension in the midst of beautiful mountains, coming with your own car makes things much easier. But I had akso no issues using taxis to get to Pyeongchang station and back, and from there to use public transport to get to the popular destinations as i.e. Odaesan National Park.

If you're looking for a pension within the mountains with a beautiful view as well as a very welcoming and accommodating host, I strongly recommend this place. The pension is directly facing Geumdang-Mountain and the valley, and the surroundings couldn't have been more pristine and peaceful. When I asked him for some recommendations regarding local taxi drivers through this app, he offered me to pick me up from Pyeongchang station without me asking for it. Right after pick-up, he gave me a tour of the area and also took me to a fantastic restaurant serving trout sashimi (송어회) when he found out that I hadn't eaten lunch yet. He also gave me a different room with a balcony without additional charges instead of the one I had booked when I told him that I came especially for the mountain view. Throughout my stay, he did his utmost to make my stay as enjoyable as possible. The room was clean, comfortable, and very spacious for a single person. If you travel alone, I recommend you book the "Rose/Jangmi" room (장미) - because the view from the balcony was as great as promised. But next time, I will certainly come back with friends, as he offers plenty of more soacious options as well as to grill for your bbq if you bring your own meet. While you should bring your own food, you can also buy water, beer and makgeolli from him for reasonable prices.

None. Bed was standard Korean - so a little hard for Western standards.

The owner and host was SO nice and very communicative. The setting was great.

I got the ground floor unit by the main building so when other guests walk or make noise it’s a bit if noise. Not a problem when you get the other individual units or 2nd floor.

It’s got a fantastic view of the mountain. The owner is very friendly,speaks English and accommodating. He even let me use laundry facilitates no charge. You can even bbq here and he will help you with d pit. When I arrived it was night time with no food and he gave me food supplies to cook at no charge. The town area is a bit of a distance but he will wither drive you there or help you call a taxi. I stayed there a week to get away from hustle n bustle of city n Seoul and absolutely enjoyed myself.

some of the facilities were dated or not in use (swimming pool) but this did not effect our stay.

we loved our stay at chaeul, the owner provided us with a bbq on request (25000 charcoal charge) and gave us homemade pajeon 파전 and local makgeolli 막걸리. in the evening he prepared a campfire and gave us marshmallows to toast!

The shower in the family room was a little out of our “normal” so we were not able to bathe our baby, other than that we did have to walk a few steps to the common area for things like a toaster, can opener, microwave, etc. The host gave us everything we needed without hesitation so there was not anything we did not love about our stay!

This property was BEAUTIFUL. We stayed for a weekend so we could ski at Phoenix Ski Resort. Although there are a lot of up and down hill to get to this location, it was well worth the quiet home feel this cabin gave. My family and I were so grateful that the host was so accommodating, caring, sweet, and genuine about helping in any way he could. He spoke English very well, so it made our stay comfortable and not as “unknown” in an area we were knew to. The host offered to make us anything from coffee—to starting and maintaining the grill so we could cook.

The road up the pension was a bit nerve wracking to drive the first few times, and the bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but that’s standard for Korean beds.

The view from the property was beautiful, and the host was so accommodating and kind. He served us a delicious breakfast everyday and gave us recommendations on where to go on the area. Can’t wait to go back!
