Seongcheondaek House with about 300 years' history is an old hanok guesthouse located in Cheongun-ri at the entrance to Juwangsan Mountain, which can be reached by driving along Yongjeoncheon Stream from Cheongsong County in Gyeongsangbuk-do. With the tranquil surrounding atmosphere among houses in the alley, the house features a typical square-shaped structure of the mountain region. Seongcheondaek House is presumed to have been bought by Im Chun-seop, a high-ranking official during the reign of King Gojong (r. 1863-1907) of the Joseon Dynasty, but its exact construction date is unknown. It was designated as National Folklore Cultural Heritage No. 172 in 1984. This cozy hanok house consists of the main gate with straw-thatched roof, square-shaped Anchae (Women’s Quarters), middle gate, Sarangbang (master’s room), tea room, old stable, Daecheongmaru (hall between rooms) overlooking the courtyard with beautiful scenery, and so on. In particular, guests can enjoy a romantic atmosphere from Daecheongmaru by appreciating the scene of falling raindrops or melting snow from the edges of the eaves. The Munganchae (gate building) consisting of a bathroom and a kitchen has a straw-thatched roof and a renovated interior for the guests’ convenience. The square-shaped Anchae is composed of two guestrooms (Sarangbang and Anbang) and a reading room (Utbang). The rooms feature a traditional construction style with cozy and clean interior items including a small wooden table as well as clean beddings. In addition, a kitchen is situated in front of Anbang, displaying traditional kitchen appliances including a fireplace and two large iron pots, unlike a modern-style kitchen in Munganchae. Daecheongmaru of Anchae offers an open view of the outdoor landscape through two large wooden windows. In addition, a deep groove in the middle of the yard in front of Daecheongmaru catches one’s eyes. The groove is said to have been made due to the rubbing of the foot on the ground when weaving hemp cloth hundreds of years ago. Guests can enjoy relaxation both during daytime and nighttime under a starry sky in the yard where a small wooden bedstead and a stone table are situated. Moreover, the house provides folk games such as neolttwigi (Korean see-sawing game) and tuho (pitch-pot) as well as the family art therapy program wherein family members can understand each other better through a painting and drawing activity. Surrounding tourist attractions include Juwangsan National Park and Jusanji Reservoir.
