I went here as a day trip with a group. We ate lunch (비빔밥 and 청국장), went to the cafe for some coffee, had an introduction to the center, and did a small forest therapy hike. I really loved it here and want to go back for a few days stay. All meals they offer are very healthy. Its located on the mountain with forests, so the air is so fresh. It's a center that focuses on improving your health. Because it's on the mountain, there is no wi-fi and cellular service available, except on the top of the mountain (should you decide to hike there). They offer spa and aroma therapy services. The view is so great. Everywhere you look is so pretty. They have rabbits, cats, and 2 llamas on site. During the forest therapy hike, we did a short hike, stopped and did some relaxation stretching and meditating and resting. They provide mats and blankets and barely tea for the hike. It was very relaxing. You can really feel and enjoy nature. There are lots of chestnuts on the ground you can pick up and take home. There are no elevators on site, to promote health. So, those who are handicapped may not want to go here. The food was delicious and healthy, but the coffee was just okay. It was just warm, not hot. It also tasted a little watery. I don't know if it was just for our day tour, but they provided us a ₩3,000 drink voucher to use at the cafe with our meal.
Overall, I would love to come here again and stay for a few days. Air is great, views are beautiful, food is delicious, lots of hiking trails available.

This place is a unique place. Very expensive, natural, healing and isolated place. The food was fresh and natural, so I could think that these foods let me healthier. ^^ The tracking course is really awesome. I strongly recommend here for tracking because the course was well organized and maintained. you can't use your phone because the cellular signal is off. if you're a internet addict, consider other place. but, signal is on at some tracking course due to safety issue. Anyway, if you want to stay at modern and comfortable, but, natural and isolated place, I really recommend here.

This resort made me feel genuinely restored to my natural rhythm and reconnected with nature. It was the perfect way to slow things down and recover from burnout, stress, and fatigue from work and life's daily drama. All it takes is a 2-night stay, but if you can stay longer, I highly recommend it. The rooms have zen, organic, and minimal decor; think "Muji" style shop. And it's all these little details and things, like the very comfy traditional Korean clothes they give to wear that makes it easy to empty your mind. I recommend a room with a terrace view of the whole property for lovely sunrises and sunsets. Also, the spa and red-clay sauna are great places to just melt away and relax. I genuinely believe this an authentic wellness center that makes you feel reconnected with your mind, body, and spirit. It's perfect for a much-needed tech-detox and to unplug. If you're a dog-lover, I recommend trying the dog trekking/hiking course with one of the two adorable retriever dogs they have on-site, who lead the way. The staff are super friendly, the food is nutritious, and the facilities are tastefully modern, eco-friendly, and organic. There's no TV, air-conditioners, etc... and WiFi is only available in the lobby, which is a reasonable walking distance from your room. This resort's concept is to make you move your body while resting your mind via "intentional discomfort" (walking up hills, taking a break from technology, etc...). I came to find it's just the thing my sedentary homebody needed, and I felt great after.

Reconnect with nature. Don’t be fool with the star rating here because the experience you will get is beyond five stars world class facility to help you rejuvenate from the busy hectic life to a no internet zone. I stayed here for two days one night with three meals. The place felt like a little Switzerland cottage surrounded by mountains. I visited here in the fall (Early October) and able to see some leaves turned colors. No elevator here. You gotta be a bit physically fit to walk up the buildings and around the little hills. Come prepare with hiking gears. The place comes with many free programs including yoga, beginner hiking with trees 101 lesson (conducted in Korean), jjimjibang hot spring and cool carbonic water, bon fire while grilling sweet potatoes, and many more fun activities of your choice. Don’t worry about getting bored here because the fresh cool pollution free air and beautiful facilities full of season flowers and trees will keep you occupy to enjoy the nature. Another great thing about this place is the healthy simple food with fresh ingredients and no grill no fry concept. The food still is tasty in a healthy way served in buffet style. The different pavilion has four seasons theme. The owner would walk around greetings guests making it feel so warmth and personal. For those that absolutely need to connect to Internet, there is a special business center zone to give you access. Or hike up high enough and you will be able to get some internet signal as well. The guest rooms are simple with air condition and heater. I slept so well in this place. I like how there are signs to explain things in English and Korean as well. Definitely a foreigner friendly place but please take not that all classes and food are Korean. So if you want to immerse yourself to enjoy the simple Korean life and not picky in food, this is paradise for you. There is a bus daily from Jamsil station to the resort and back. Super convenient. Such a unique experience. Will definitely come back.
