2 Private, eco-friendly mountain lodge/villa in a quiet mountain valley filled with the sound of birds

I came here looking for a quiet place for rest and recuperation. Upon arrival, my first impression was how beautifully landscaped the property is. There are fruit trees like mulberries, hackberries, and cherries. The owner mentioned they are organic, so we could eat them fresh right off the tree, and they were delicious and ripe. The owner's wife is very kind, and since the owner runs a landscaping business, you can feel the expertise in every detail. The interior is spacious and clean, more so than expected. The living room has high ceilings that create an open feeling, and there's a ceiling fan that adds to the charm. The house is very well-built. Facing south with thick walls, it seems like it would be warm even in winter. Despite it being late June, just slightly opening the windows provides excellent ventilation and keeps it comfortably cool. If you have dreams of owning a country house, this place will give you plenty of inspiration. The amenities are well-equipped with almost everything you need. I didn't know that tissues and a water purifier were provided, but the water purifier was really convenient as it lightened our luggage. Since it's somewhat in the mountains, opening the windows lets you hear various bird calls—cuckoos, scops owls, larks, and more. During my three-week stay, I think I heard a year's worth of bird songs. Since I needed rehabilitation, I took daily walks. About 500 meters below the accommodation, there's a wide stream embankment lined with lush zelkova trees, making for a refreshing walk. It was wonderful. Goesan has beautiful mountain scenery with many scenic spots nearby, but unfortunately, my physical condition didn't allow me to visit them. So I plan to come back next time. Anyway, I had a quiet and restful stay.
