Deokdongdaek House (덕동댁)

Introduction

Deokdong House is an elegant hanok standing in Gaesil Village, Gyeongsangbuk-do - hometown of the descendants of Joseon scholar Kim Jong-jik. The hanok’s large wooden gate opens onto a grassy courtyard. There are two guestrooms: Maeshil and Jukshil (‘Plum’ and ‘Bamboo’), the latter of which has cooking facilities and also an outdoor barbecue. In the village, visitors can experience traditional farming (planting rice and digging sweet potatoes) and traditional craft skills such as kite making and straw weaving; as well as making taffy and sweet rice cake, catching mudfish and ice sledding.
