Heidi Korea

Mr Lee hosts an oasis in the mountains. This retreat is tucked away up a hill above the river with close up view of a stunningly beautiful mountain. The silence is broken by birdsong by day and crackling fires at night. We were given some crispy home grown vegetables from their garden. Cooking facilities are basic; Mr Lee took us to get groceries. We had some fascinating discussions; he is very well travelled generous man. Easy trip to Nami island and local restaurants are nearby.

A few more cooking utensils. When we asked we were given them.

Top quality stay at Heidi Korea. Really appreciated the quaint location, and the hospitality from the hosts. The icing on the cake were great, insightful conversations with Mr Lee, about the Korean peninsula, food, travel, healthy lifestyle and life in general. Great recommendations about cost-effective travel to and from Seoul, ski rentals and more. Refreshing break from the usual hotels, into true, Korean family-style living. Spacious rooms, fantastic views, and especially loved the comfortable beds. Highly recommend it, if you are planning a getaway around Vivaldi Park. Thank you Mr and Mrs Lee!

The place is very well taken care of care of. We enjoyed Mr Lee’s hospitality. He is very nice to fetch us to the ski rental and to lunch and dinner places.

We had an enjoyable stay at Heidi Korea and truly enjoyed the experience. The in-house barbecue was fantastic. For the charcoal BBQ, we paid Mr Lee a small fee to prepare the charcoal, which was very convenient. He also kindly sent us to a nearby supermarket where we could buy our own BBQ ingredients. Cooking our own food over charcoal was a great experience, and the kids especially loved it. The surrounding nature is beautiful, quiet, and peaceful, making it a perfect place to relax away from the city. The owner, Mr Lee, was extremely friendly and helpful. He made a real effort to communicate with us, offered recommendations for nearby places to visit, and helped us communicate with taxi drivers. His hospitality made our stay much more comfortable and stress-free. Due to the winter season, we did not get the chance to try the vegetables that Mr Lee grows on his small farm, which would have been a lovely experience in warmer months. We visited Morning Calm and Petite France, just so-so, and the cold winter weather made it difficult to walk around for long. For skiing, Mr Lee recommended a discounted ski-rental shop, which helped us save money on equipment rentals, which we really appreciated.
