As you approach Seongcheondaek House, you’ll be greeted by the tranquility of the surrounding alley and the picturesque scenery of the mountain region. The house itself boasts a square-shaped structure, characteristic of the area, and is believed to have been owned by Im Chun-seop, a high-ranking official during the Joseon Dynasty.
Stepping inside, you’ll find a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The main gate, adorned with a straw-thatched roof, leads you to the square-shaped Anchae, or Women’s Quarters, where you’ll discover two guestrooms, a reading room, and a kitchen.

One of the highlights of Seongcheondaek House is the Daecheongmaru, a hall between rooms that overlooks a beautiful courtyard. From here, you can enjoy the romantic sight of raindrops or melting snow falling from the eaves. Additionally, the Munganchae, which houses a bathroom and a kitchen, has been renovated for your convenience.
During your stay, take the time to explore the surrounding area. Juwangsan National Park offers breathtaking hiking trails, where you can immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the mountains. Nearby, Jusanji Reservoir provides a peaceful setting for a leisurely stroll or a relaxing picnic.
Back at Seongcheondaek House, you’ll find a variety of activities to enhance your experience.

At night, don’t miss the opportunity to unwind under the starry sky in the yard, complete with a small wooden bedstead and a stone table. It’s the perfect place to relax and reflect on your day’s adventures.
