The hotel is ideally located close to the Nogodan hiking trail and the Hwaeomsa Temple. The buses into Gurye Center and up the mountain are about a 90 second walk away. There are nice views from the hotel, we could look right out the window at the mountains from our bed! So peaceful and quiet, just the sound of the creek outside. Loved it here, wish we stayed longer! The owner is really nice and helpful and can give you lots of info about Gurye.
