While priced well above the typical neighborhood rate, this Domun-dong private villa justifies its cost with a pet-friendly policy that welcomes your animal companion. It is a well-suited retreat for a traveler bringing a dog along for a countryside stay.
“The house is really so clean and beautiful. Every facility is clean too, and the host's taste is really great 👍 The only downside was that the neighborhood is a bit remote with no convenience stores nearby (though delivery apps like Baemin and Coupang Eats work well haha), but in exchange it was incredibly quiet and perfect for walking my dog in the morning and evening. In the evening, listening to music on a Bluetooth speaker from the wooden deck while watching the sunset and having a beer was pure bliss. I really highly recommend it!”
📐 93 m² (996 sq ft) · 🛏️ 3BR · 🚿 2BA
Set inside a private villa in Noam-dong, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout offers a quiet residential rhythm away from the coastal crowds. It is a practical choice for a family setting up a multi-week stay in Gangneung-si without needing to bring pets along.
“It was such a good house that I wanted to live there. I think it would be even better if I were alone. Parking was convenient and the path to the house felt great. As soon as I opened the gate, I was amazed—it was such a fun house. The bathroom was nice, and having a separate toilet was really useful when I needed to think or use it. Even though it's split-level, it had a feel like an attic, which I really loved, and it's a perfect space for working or reading. There's a front and back, and the front is all glass, so it was bright and not stuffy. When I opened the door and went out, there was a fence with a tree trunk design from the gate, which was really beautiful. I think it would be amazing if I came in the summer. There's also a swimming pool. On the last day, I didn't want to leave the house—it was such a wonderful experience.”

LiveAnywhere is Korea's favorite short-term and vacation rental platform, built for extended stays of one week to six months. From trendy studios in Seoul to relaxing beach houses in Jeju, every home comes fully furnished and can be booked in minutes through the LiveAnywhere app.
It works much like Airbnb, but with a structure designed for longer visits: competitive weekly and monthly rates instead of nightly pricing, no repeated cleaning fees, and utilities included in your payment. That's why an extended stay in Korea through LiveAnywhere often costs noticeably less than booking the same period on a nightly platform.
Some listings include a small security deposit, far smaller than the large lump-sum deposits required by traditional Korean leases. Your deposit is held securely in escrow by LiveAnywhere, not by the host. After checkout, the host checks the property, and once they confirm there are no issues, your deposit is refunded within a maximum of 5 business days.
