Est. 2019 · Eastern Ridge, 980 m

A twelve-room retreat
above the pine line.

No lobby music, no check-in queue. Someone meets you at the gate, carries your bag up the stone steps, and pours something warm while the valley does the rest.

12 rooms only Wood-fired kitchen All-night library

The valley below the house at first light — The east terrace, first light in October

"You arrive planning to read three books and you finish none of them, which is exactly what the place is for."

01 — The rooms

Twelve rooms, no two alike

Each room follows the shape of the ridge rather than a floor plan. Beds face whichever window earns it.

The Ridge Rooms

from ₩280,000

Four rooms along the east wall. Floor-to-ceiling glass, a deep sill wide enough to sit in, and a bath that looks straight down the valley.

Size: 38–42 m²
Sleeps: Two
Aspect: East, sunrise

The Garden Rooms

from ₩240,000

Six rooms opening onto the walled herb garden. Quieter, lower, and warmer in winter — the ones regulars ask for by number.

Size: 30–34 m²
Sleeps: Two, cot on request
Aspect: South, garden

The Loft

from ₩460,000

One room under the rafters with its own stair, a wood stove, and a tub set into the floorboards. Booked a season ahead in autumn.

Size: 64 m²
Sleeps: Three
Aspect: Both, full ridge

The dining room set for the single evening seating — Service begins at seven, one seating only

02 — The table

One kitchen, one seating, whatever came in that morning

There is no menu to choose from. The kitchen cooks what the growers on the lower road brought up before noon, over a wood fire that has not gone out since 2019. Dietary notes go on the reservation, not to the waiter.

Breakfast

Laid out from seven. Bread from the same oven as last night's service.

Supper

Six courses at seven. Guests eat at one long table unless they'd rather not.

The cellar

Ninety labels, most of them from within a day's drive.

Non-guests

Four seats a night, released on the first of each month.

03 — A day here

The house keeps its own hours

06:40

Light on the ridge

The east rooms get it first. Coffee is already on in the library if you're awake for it.
11:00

The road walk

Nine kilometres down to the water and back, or the short loop through the orchard.
16:30

Bath hour

The stone bath below the terrace is heated and left alone. Towels are in the cabinet.
19:00

One seating

Supper at the long table. It usually runs past eleven and nobody minds.

05 — Seasons

The same twelve rooms, four different houses

Regulars tend to pick a season and keep it. These are the arguments for each.

Spring — the path up through the orchard — Spring

The orchard goes over in ten days and the whole ridge smells of it. Quietest months of the year.

Summer — the water at the bottom of the walk — Summer

Supper moves outside to the terrace. The water at the bottom of the walk is cold enough to matter.

Autumn — the eastern ridge in October haze — Autumn

The reason most people come. Book the Loft a season ahead or don't bother asking in October.

Winter — snow on the peaks above the pine line — Winter

Snow closes the track perhaps twice. The stove in the Loft earns its keep and the library fills up.

06 — Guest notes

Left in the book by the door

"We came for two nights and rebooked from the terrace on the first morning."

Room 4 · September

"Nobody asked what we did for a living. That alone was worth the drive."

The Loft · November

"The supper ran to midnight and we ended up walking the orchard with strangers."

Room 11 · June

07 — Before you write

Things people ask first

Can we bring children?

Over twelve, yes, and a cot fits in the Garden rooms. Supper is one long table, so it helps if they can sit through six courses.

Is there wifi?

In the rooms and the library, not on the terrace or in the dining room. That was a decision, not an oversight.

What if we have dietary restrictions?

Tell us on the reservation and the kitchen builds around it. Vegetarian and coeliac are routine; anything else, write and we'll be honest about what we can do.

Can we cancel?

Free up to fourteen days out. Inside that we'll try to fill the room and refund whatever we recover — with twelve rooms it usually works.

Are dogs allowed?

In the two Garden rooms at the end, and anywhere outdoors. There is a resident cat who was here first and holds a grudge.

08 — Rates
