“The accommodation is located halfway up a mountain, so the view is absolutely stunning and it's very quiet, making it perfect for staying with children. The interior is spacious and has great storage, so even though we had quite a bit of luggage, we were able to stay comfortably. The owner is very kind, attentive to all the details of the home, and responds quickly to inquiries - it was all wonderful. Jeongdongjin Beach is really just a 5-minute drive away, so we could visit the sea frequently, which is definitely an advantage. The neighboring house kept chickens, and the children absolutely loved it. The neighbor was also very kind, and I was grateful throughout our stay. It was a delightful trip where we left with only good memories. Thank you.”

“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!”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is LiveAnywhere?

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 show a deposit. What is it, and do I get it back?

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.

Is there a good Airbnb alternative for a stay of a week or longer in Gangwon?

Looking for an Airbnb alternative in Gangwon? LiveAnywhere is built specifically for stays of a week or longer, with pricing that reflects that. It's often cheaper than booking the same length of stay night by night on a typical platform. Utilities are included, cleaning fees don't repeat, and every host is verified.

Can foreigners rent a villa in Gangwon without a Korean guarantor?

You don't need a Korean guarantor to rent in Gangwon through LiveAnywhere. Listings here are set up specifically so foreign renters can book directly online, without the guarantor requirement standard Korean leases usually involve.
