“Did you hear about the family who found a hidden bath in the middle of their Jeju homestay?” Ihohanggol Homestay, a name whispered among travelers seeking unique accommodations, has a secret. This homestay, with over 200 years of history nestled in the village of Sinchon-ri, isn’t just a place to sleep. It’s a journey through time, a living museum of Jeju’s traditional architecture. Ihohanggol Homestay consists of two main buildings: the Angeori and the Bakgeori. The Angeori, the main house, exudes history with its preserved wooden beams, a century-old wooden floor, and a wall-carved cupboard. It comfortably sleeps four in twin double beds. Modern amenities like Dyson electronics and Aesop toiletries blend seamlessly with the past. The Bakgeori, traditionally for grown children, features a modern kitchen incorporating Jeju lava stones. Retractible doors open to a garden, blurring the lines between indoors and out. A minimalist design highlights the kitchen as the heart of the home. But the real magic lies in the unexpected. One such surprise is the Bakgeori’s open bath, hidden behind large wooden doors. Imagine stepping into a private jungle bath, surrounded by lush plants and natural stones. Another hidden gem is the Gopang, a converted barn with a Cypress bathtub, offering a private spa experience. The natural oils of the Cypress wood relax muscles, relieve stress, and improve circulation. Beyond Ihohanggol Homestay’s walls, Sinchon-ri beckons with its charming olle roads, coastal walks, and glimpses of Jeju’s famous Haenyeo divers.
