Gagyeongjae is a thatched hanok on the edge of Hahoe  Folk Village in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do. There are five guestrooms altogether. The main house or Anchae has a wooden porch while the Sarangchae (men’s house) shares a central living space. Windows are lined in the traditional way with hanji paper, and opening them lets in a cooling breeze and reveals the beautiful surrounding landscape. The wood-fired Red Clay sauna room is very popular, but visitors need to make a reservation at least two days in advance to get the furnace started. Rooms have AC installed (additional fees in summer).

Damyeonjae is a hanok accommodation located in Hahoe Village, Andong. It was built in the 1980s but faithfully implemented the appearance of a traditional hanok. The chimney rising behind the yard and the tiles which line the roof are excellent enough to be considered a cultural asset, and the wood used for the beams and the cheongmaru is also very luxurious. Uniquely, it was built in a 'c' shape with the gate and haengnangchae moved to the edge of the yard, rather than a square shape like the traditional hanok in the Gyeongsang region. Thanks to the open view to the south, the entire Andong Hahoe Village and Hwasan Mountain can be viewed from the yard. Damyeonjae is the home of Korean actor Ryu Si-won, and his is known to have spent his childhood here. In 1999, Queen Elizabeth II of England experienced Korean culture and received a 73rd birthday award here, making it even more famous. Damyeonjae is currently operated as a hanok stay where only one group can stay each day. The kitchen and bathroom are modernly decorated to add convenience.
