Accommodation in Gurye

Perfect location, very nice room and friendly staff

Spotlessly clean and comfortable. Our host was friendly and incredibly helpful (even booking a hiking pass for us and giving directions to suitable spots)! The breakfast is simple and all that is needed.

The host was great and very friendly. We came at night very late and he offered some ramen.

This guesthouse is an absolute hiker’s haven in an area that used to be a bustling gateway to the Jirisan Mountains, but was hit hard by COVID. The owner is a heart-and-soul mountaineer who loves the mountains as well as mountain-loving people. He is an absolute expert on the area and helped us organize our first serious multi-day hiking trip as a family. His advice turned out to be spot on (our initial plans had some pretty big flaws). His warmth and enthusiasm for us undertaking this as a family felt empowering and fueled our excitement for the hike. We feel like we really made a new friend! The guesthouse itself is in a bit of a ghost town, but has great amenities. There is an awesome common room where hikers can vibe together, filled with mountain memorabilia and information about Jirisan. There is also a nice rooftop area with an awesome view of the mountains. The place also has a restaurant with delicious food, although it isn’t always open when there aren't many guests. The guesthouse just oozes a love for hiking! It was quiet when we were there, but the place has immense potential to enhance the whole Jirisan experience through its warm, knowledgeable owner and by providing a place to meet people and exchange experiences. I would especially recommend this guesthouse to people traveling in groups for its awesome communal areas, but even if you travel alone or with your family, this guesthouse is an absolute number one pick!

The location is stunning. Very peaceful. The hanok is attractive and well appointed, and the host seems to have thought of everything. I was especially grateful to the host’s brother who helped me through a couple of tricky situations (of my own making). He was extremely kind and made my stay smoother than it might otherwise have been. Thank you!

We had a very nice stay in the beautiful scenery, with our own little deck and everything you might need to bbq or cook. There is also a little stream flowing in the valley which I pressume to be a quite welcome cool-down in summer. The owner was so very nice and lovely to us--I am sure that you will enjoy your time there! Make sure to bring a car or travel with light luggage though as the next bus stop is quite a walk away with ups-and-downs you don't want to push your cases up (or down). The owner was so kind to drive us to the next bus stop on our way back--thank you so much for that!
