As the name suggests, there are lots of pine trees in the area. The pension consists of two log cabins and a yard, both of which are situated right in the middle of a pine grove. The owner of the pension built the buildings here so that guests can enjoy a panoramic view of the landscape of Jisepo Port, with the buildings facing south for sunlight. Two two-story buildings are built with logs and red clay, giving them a natural look and feel. The garden is full of flowers, trees, and wild flowers grown by the owner for over 17 years. The yard with stair steps is 6,611m² wide, and it mainly consists of pine trees and natural rocks. There are tables, low wooden bench, and traditional Korean lookout hut for the guests to relax and enjoy the surrounding nature. The pension has a total of 10 guestrooms in two buildings named “Yanghandang" and “Hwasaengdang.” There are rooms of different sizes that can accommodate between two and eight people, so be sure to choose the right room to suit your needs when booking. All the guestrooms are furnished with modern kitchen and bathroom. In the yard are “Red Clay and Stone Plates” built with a traditional Korean floor heating system for those wishing to have a barbecue. You can also cook potatoes and Korean pancakes on the 4cm-thick stone plates heated by firewood.
