Monthly Rentals in Sannae-myeon

i can’t say enough about this place ~ a true hidden gem, especially for those travelers looking for a more nature-filled, peaceful, traditional korean village experience. nestled halfway up one of the mountains in jirisan, katherine’s hanoak house and guest house is near a pristine mountain-fed stream and two Buddhist temples within walking distance. the beautiful villages of hwagae, gurye, and namwon are minutes away by car as well as many hiking trails, hot springs, sauna, and three of the best Buddhist temples (and one of the best buddhist hermitages) in the country. katherine is also an amazing, personable and knowledgeable host with plenty of ideas and suggestions of things to do or events and festivals to attend. a native english speaker and fluent in korean is an added bonus. her guest house is lovingly and artistically furnished and super cozy. looking forward to many future visits…

WOW!! Just incredible. Our host is fantastic. He picked us up in Namwon at the bus station and drove us through amazing Jirisan over a mountain pass. The place is stunning. Everything inside is new and perfect. The outside space is great. We cooked our dinner over the wood fired grill every night. All the amenities anyone would need. The setting is right in the beautiful mountains and we enjoyed some fabulous hiking. We would not hesitate to return. A million thanks.

The owner greeted me so kindly, and the accommodation was clean, so I used it comfortably. The surrounding background view is beautiful, so I want to come again next time. ^^

Thank you for your kind response. It's such a beautiful place. I stopped by for a while on the way, but I'll come again next time to walk the perimeter. The fireflies I saw while walking at night are constantly distracting.
