The price was cheap and it was a “guesthouse,” so I went there without high expectations, but I was very satisfied with the accommodation. The smiles of the friendly owner and his son made me smile along with them, and the name Smile Guesthouse was a perfect fit. Since it is a place that has been passed down for three generations, the tradition and old-fashionedness that can be seen everywhere felt rather cozy and elegant. The accommodation was clean, and even though there was an ice water purifier, they provided us with two bottles of water every day, and a simple breakfast of cereal, fruit, coffee, and toast. I was also impressed by the thorough preparations made so that we could do this. It was a bit disappointing that you had to drive to downtown Sokcho or the beach because it was located on Seoraksan Mountain, but it was okay because you could get there in about ten minutes. You can enjoy a barbecue on the deck, and as soon as you open the door, clean valley water flows, so if you have children, they can play in the water. I go to Sokcho often and will use it again if I stay here.
