Seo Yu Suk [Korea Quality] / 서유숙 [한국관광 품질인증]1

Seoyusuk is a traditional Korean house located on a road along a river in a remote area. The name “Seoyusuk” means “a place to lodge in leisure" in Korean. The guesthouse is a small cluster of red clay houses with tiled roof situated below a hill with chestnut trees. It has a large grass yard with a flower garden, outside of which are flowers and earthenware jars for various traditional Korean sauces such as soy sauce, soybean paste, and red chili paste. Because the guesthouse is located in Boktan-ri, Sotae-myeon, Chungju, Chungcheongbuk-do where the water is so clean, no factories, or even restaurants, are allowed for the preservation of the natural environment. The owner of the guesthouse, who started the guesthouse business in 2010, says that she chose to live and work in a traditional Korean house because she has fond childhood memories of her family home, which was a traditional Korean house. It’s one of the reasons the guesthouse looks like an ordinary traditional Korean house built for a family. The guesthouse consists of a number of stand-alone buildings named “Byeolchae,” “Asojeong,” “Deogyeonjae,” "Jeongyeon,” "Gaonchae,” and "Suragan,” which all share the same yard. Among them, only the “Byeolchae,” “Asojeong,” “Deogyeonjae,” and “Jeongyeon” are used as a guesthouse. All the guestrooms look and feel different here, but they have the same red clay and pine wood finish. Even the walls are coated with natural dye. Thanks to these all-natural materials that emit far-infrared radiation with good health benefits, sleeping in one of these rooms can do your body good. Right in front of every room is a "toenmaru (a narrow wooden porch running along the outside of a room)” where you can sit and enjoy the view of the flower garden and the surrounding landscape. Because all the guestrooms are in a stand-alone building, you can have some privacy during your stay both in and out of the room. The buildings have most of the features of a traditional Korean house except for the bathroom, which is modern and clean. The rooms are furnished with a kitchen, so the guests can cook during their stay. "Deogyeonjae Room" is the largest one and is perfect for families. It has only one bedroom, but there is a living room with a door between them. "Asojeong Room" has an octagonal roof with a natural wood column in the middle supporting the ceiling rafters. "Jeongyeon Room" is furnished with a bed, so it's the room of choice for families with a child. All the rooms are clean and cozy, with a large window offering a great view of the yard and mountain in the distance. BBQ facilities called “Suragan” are in one corner of the yard, where guests can enjoy barbecue even on a rainy day. On a clear day, you can also use the tables with a patio umbrella in front of each guesthouse. In front of the "Suragan" is a shelf of books for the guests to rent and read during their stay. The most outstanding features of the “Seoyusuk” guesthouse are the cotton mattresses and blankets, which are naturally dyed, sewn, and embroidered by the guesthouse owner’s family. The sheets and blankets are not only flowery but also good for the health. Some guests even say that sleeping on the natural cotton mattresses and blankets in a red clay room actually eased their symptoms of atopic dermatitis. Even the curtains and tablecloths are made of the same natural cotton sheets. There is a 3,305m² flower garden across the grass yard, where you can see colorful wild flowers. The owner even built a "wondumak,” a Korean lookout hut on stilts that can usually be found in a melon field, in the garden for the guests to relax while enjoying the view of the garden and the landscape. Many of the guests stay here to pick chestnuts, because the entire village is literally full of chestnut trees. For this reason, guests staying at "Seoyusuk" in the fall, winter, and early spring are served sweet chestnuts. Because the guesthouse is close to Bakdaljae Pass and Gyemyeongsan Mountain, many people also come here to enjoy a stroll along the river. The guesthouse serves blueberry yogurt, organic salad, and porridge for breakfast (free for the guests) and offers an embroidery class where you can learn Korean embroidery and tea class where you can make tea with hand-picked and dried tea leaves.
