Island Tree Hotel in Jeju - a night in a log cabin

This B&B is an independent small quaint building in the quiet town of Andeok-myeon in Seogwipo. If I'm not mistaken, it only has 4 available rooms and a beautiful small cafe on the ground floor. The owner stays in the same building so you can just give him a call and he will attend to your needs anytime of the day. He also runs his own cafe, does everything on his own- basically a one-man-show kind of place. Haha. But he is very friendly and patient and most importantly, he speaks fluent English.

We really like the room. It was spacious and comes with a functional kitchenette, dining table, cable TV, a couch, a dressing table, a queen-sized bed and a small balcony. The door locking system is quite high-tech too, whereby you do not need a key or card to enter. You just have to key in your own pin number that he has entered in the system.

It was too bad we came so late at night and checked out early in the morning itself to start exploring Jeju island. We only get to stay a night there as we plan to stay the second night near the airport since we would have returned the rental car by then.

Breakfast was served in the cafe, made by the owner himself. He made us delicious sandwiches and a cup of coffee each. Really satisfying meal. He also asked us where we were planning to visit and gave us a map and a book on the tourist locations in Jeju Island. This is a recommended place to stay if you ever want to visit Jeju Island. The owner made us feel very at home. That is not something even the most expensive hotel can do.

Address: 358-3 Hwasoon-Ri, Andeok-Myeon, Seogwipo-si, CJ, South Korea

*We were unable to find this hotel when we entered the phone number into the GPS but we were able to find it using the address.
