Our overnight stay in the log cabin at Biseulsan Natural Recreation Forest

This is such a late post since we stayed in the log cabin last September 2019. However, I hope that some of the information here would still be helpful to those who are planning to book and stay overnight at Biseulsan Natural Recreation Forest.

Only vehicles registered during the reservation process will be allowed to enter the Natural Recreation Forest area. When we arrived, a guy was waiting by the barrier to check the vehicles wanting to enter. After telling him my name and showing my alien registration card, he let us through.

We dropped by the management office first to get the keys to our accommodation. We were also given a trash bag. The guy in the office said to me (in Korean) that we can bring the car close to the location of our reserved log cabin to drop off our stuff and then we should park the car in the designated parking area after. We did as he suggested as that was easier compared to hauling our stuff up the hill (which I think was a bit steep) if we had parked the car first.

I decided not to take pictures of the log cabin as I found a Naver blog post that have pictures of the exact same place we stayed at (which is the Sonamu log cabin). I did take pictures (shown below) of the other amenities available in the cabin. Dishwashing liquid and a mesh were also provided. The cabin had free Wi-Fi as well.

However, there were also some things which I noticed were not available, such as toiletries (soap and shampoo), microwave, and mugs or cups. Make sure to bring these items if you are planning to stay overnight. We were lucky that the store close to where we were staying was open so I was able to get a mini soap to use in the kitchen and bathroom.

There is a rice cooker available but I decided to use microwavable rice instead to make it easier. I ended up putting it in boiling water to heat it up for dinner.

After check-out the next day, we decided to take the electric car at Biseulsan that takes people up to the top of the mountain where a temple is located. Even if private vehicles are allowed inside the Recreation Forest, they cannot go up to the top. Only the electric cars are permitted to do so.

We are planning to book a caravan the next time we visit.

Amenities at the Daegu International Airport

When my husband and I travel, we usually use the Gimhae International Airport (PUS). However, for a recent trip to Jeju, we flew from Daegu International Airport (TAE). It was both our first time to use that airport so, prior to the flight, we were wondering what amenities to expect at the airport.

The Daegu International Airport is quite small with only two floors. The check-in counters and arrival area are on the first floor whereas the departure area is on the second floor. Here are the different amenities that are inside the airport (as of August 2017):

1^st Floor

• Dunkin Donuts
• Baskin Robbins
• GS 25 (convenience store)
• Tourist Information
• Rent-a-car Booth
• Daegu Bank and ATM machines
• Restroom

2^nd Floor

• Massa Coffee
• Angel-in-us (coffee shop)
• Pharmacy
• Restroom
• Porridge and Bibimbap Café

Inside the domestic gate, there is a Cantata coffee shop that also sells basic stuff like ice cream, soda, and cookies.

After landing back at Daegu Airport, we were told by the flight crew not to take any photos outside as the airport is also being used by the South Korean and US military.
