The guestroom is in an annex building and consists of a large sleeping room, a daecheongmaru living room, and a bathroom/toilet. Cooking is not allowed, but a free Korean breakfast is provided, and barbecues can also be arranged. Nearby are Imhaho Water Leisure Camp, Manhyujeong Pavilion, and Hahoe Village.

Jeolgolgyegok Valley is located along the mountain ridgeline connecting Gamebong Peak and Wanggeoam Rock in Juwangsan Mountain. It stretches for 5 kilometers from Jeolgol Valley Visitor's Center to Daemun Bridge. The valley is formed of vocanic tuffs that were welded and compacted after cooling down, which resulted in forming vertical cracks, leaving rocks to fall out and create a steep valley cliff.

Jusanji Pond is a small reservoir located in Juwangsan National Park. It is a man-made pond that was dug out in August, 1720 and completed in October the year after. The pond has been used as a source of water for agricultural use as well as for drinking water. Even though it is small in size, about 200 meters long and 8 meters deep, the pond has never dried up from any drought.

150-year-old willow trees are rooted in the pond, which makes a fantastic balance with the surroundings, creating a picturesque scenery found nowhere else.
