Review of Children's Day Visit to Yangsan Daewunsan Natural Recreation Forest
Every year, Children's Day on May 5th is a highlight for outings with family. This year, avoiding the heavy traffic in the city, we managed to book the 'Mulpure Tree' room at the House in the Woods at Yangsan Daewunsan Natural Recreation Forest.
This post will cover the Daewunsan Natural Recreation Forest. It will introduce tips for peak season reservations, reviews of wooded accommodations suitable for families with children, and information about the valley and various experience programs. This will be useful for those wanting to spend comfortable time in nature.
Peak Season Reservation Tips for the Natural Recreation Forest – First Come, First Served and Lottery, including ‘Picking Up’
Reservations for Daewunsan Natural Recreation Forest can only be made through the 'Forest Access' portal.
As of 2024, reservations for the peak season from mid-July to the end of August are conducted through a lottery application announced in May. An announcement will be made again this year, and the winning results will be announced around June 10th. If there are cancellations, the remaining reservations will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis at 9 AM on June 15th. It is essential to set an alarm not to miss this moment.
It’s advisable to prepare in advance for a special experience in nature.
Popular dates like Children's Day are extremely competitive for reservations compared to off-season weekdays. Reservations for this date begin at 9 AM on Wednesday, six weeks prior, and are often sold out within a minute. Although the login wait may take a few minutes, entry to the server is instantaneous, so it is crucial to log in early and click quickly. A strategy of accessing simultaneously with family accounts is also effective.
Daewunsan Natural Recreation Forest's House in the Woods has various types of trees. Different types such as the Korean zelkova, sweetgum, and maple make up the cabins. We managed to book the Mulpure Tree room for 95,000 won. Current weekend reservations for June are nearly full, and Saturday reservations tend to fill up on the same day.
Personal Review of the ‘Mulpure Tree’ Rooms – Lighting, View, and the Valley are Perfect
First, check-in is done at the information center located at the entrance of the recreation forest. After a brief explanation, we get the card key and purchase a trash bag. Payments can only be made by card. The staff is very polite and friendly. It’s a moment of anticipation for the working environment of the Yangsan Facilities Management Corporation.
The House in the Woods allows parking near each room, which is convenient.
The Mulpure Tree room is one of the accommodations in the House in the Woods, with an area of 33㎡ and can accommodate up to 7 people. The heated floors make it a perfect space for families with young children.
The layout includes a living room and kitchen connected to the bedroom. The kitchen is well-equipped with basic appliances, providing an environment for cooking. Facilities such as refrigerator, microwave, rice cooker, and other necessities are fully equipped.
First, the room features fantastic views and excellent lighting. Sunshine shines deep into the room through the large windows, while the beautiful scenery of the forest and sounds of the valley flow in naturally.
Utilizing a standard resort suite room on peak weekends costs around 400,000 to 500,000 won. In contrast, the House in the Woods offers an excellent cost-performance ratio at 95,000 won. Of course, the inconvenience of needing to cook yourself exists, but the price range is attractive.
The components of the inventory and internal facilities are as follows:
Kitchen appliances include a 2-burner induction cooker, microwave, rice cooker, and a mid-sized refrigerator (freezer/refrigerator combo).
Cooking tools:
: frying pan, two types of pots, ladle, spatula, knife, cutting board, tongs, spoon holder
Dining utensils include the basic 7-person set such as rice bowls, soup bowls, plates, mugs, spoons, chopsticks, and glass cups.
It is also recommended to prepare daily necessities such as electric kettle, dishcloths, scrubbers, kitchen detergent, and disposable scrubbers.
The heating and cooling equipment includes a large stand-alone air conditioner and electric floor heating, allowing indoor temperature control.
Inside the accommodation, floor mats, blankets, and pillows are provided, along with individual cover sets.
Basic components in the bathroom include a showerhead, toilet, sink, soap, and toilet paper.
However, towels and personal care items are not provided, so it is necessary to prepare those personally, and you should also purchase bottled water in advance as it is not available.
Opening the front door leads to an outdoor deck, perfect for enjoying a simple meal or tea.
The deck is equipped with an outdoor table and bench set, providing a great place to have meals or share snacks with children against the backdrop of nature.
What impressed me the most was that the indoor soundproofing is excellent, and the spacing between rooms is wide enough that noise from other rooms or the deck is hardly noticeable. This feature provides a more comfortable relaxation environment for family travelers.
It might be a bit uncomfortable to sleep as there are no separate mattresses, and the room and living area each consist of one. Therefore, if two families are using the space together, consider that it may feel somewhat cramped.
The valley is easily accessible along the deck close to the accommodation. With a water depth of 30 to 60 cm, it creates a safe environment for toddlers to enjoy water play.
Activities to Enjoy with Children – Net Adventure and Forest Experience Classroom
The recreation forest has various facilities. There are places for children to enjoy, such as the Infant Forest Experience Center, sandbox playground, forest Tarzan ropes, and net adventure.
Operating hours are from 10 AM to 5 PM, allowing kids to play all day. However, the net adventure was not operational that day due to rain.
A professional forest guide operates forest experience programs. On weekends, various experiences such as insect observation and tree label making are available, and the participation fee is 3,000 won. There is also a small brook where you can enjoy observing caterpillars.
The water play area, available in the summer, is set along the refreshing valley. This offers the opportunity to safely enjoy your vacation.
Behind the accommodation, there is a 1km long forest walking trail. It is designed with a soft surface suitable for stroller movement, making it great for walking with children.
Down below, there is a foot volleyball court and a small forest zoo where rabbits can be seen!
Important Things to Know Before Using the House in the Woods at Daewunsan Natural Recreation Forest
Check-in time is set at 3 PM, and check-out is at 11 AM. You are not allowed to use charcoal barbecue on the room deck, so you must reserve and use the communal barbecue area. A fee of about 10,000 won is incurred at the site.
Please note that pets are not allowed in any area. Additionally, there are no convenience stores or supermarkets nearby, so it is advisable to bring groceries and daily necessities in advance.
Wednesday at 9 AM, Setting the Alarm is the Key to Success
If you want to enjoy Yangsan Daewunsan Natural Recreation Forest leisurely, it is crucial to remember 'Wednesday at 9 AM'. Most room reservations commence at 9 AM on Wednesday, six weeks prior to the date of use, regardless of peak or off-peak season. Reservations for popular seasons like Children's Day or summer vacation can sell out within minutes.
For this reason, it is essential to complete the member registration and login process in advance and check your internet environment. Additionally, utilizing family accounts that can connect simultaneously is also a good strategy. This preparation will help you enjoy the natural recreation forest more smoothly.
The House in the Woods at Daewunsan Natural Recreation Forest has recently improved its facilities, making it more comfortable. With a spacious deck and cozy internal environment, it is a perfect accommodation for families and children.
Every Wednesday morning, with just one click, your travel experience may change. Set the alarm and challenge yourself quickly. A special day awaits you, filled with the forests of Daewunsan, clear valley waters, and the laughter of children.
