# Yeongwol couple stay with Seobu Market takeout: Deo Swim caravan X1 - By Galpi (https://superchart.com/en/@city-appetite/) - Written Sep 16, 2026 - Local places › Stays › Yeongwol, Gangwon - Sponsored: This is a review written after receiving a complimentary stay at Deo Swim. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@city-appetite/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@city-appetite/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/index.md) ## In short Deo Swim is a private caravan stay on Donggang-ro in Yeongwol-eup, Gangwon, with units for two to four guests. A married couple spent one night in X1, the two-person room, using the mountain-view bed, the private barbecue and fire-pit area, and the in-room Nespresso machine and Osulloc tea set, after picking up soondae (Korean blood sausage), dakgangjeong (sweet crispy chicken) and memil jeonbyeong (buckwheat crepe rolls) at Yeongwol Seobu Market on the way in. Deo Swim suited a quiet couple's trip where the two of you keep the whole unit to yourselves. ## Good to know - **Stay**: Deo Swim (926-65 Donggang-ro, Yeongwol-eup, Yeongwol-gun, Gangwon) - **Room**: X1, two-person room in a stand-alone caravan (units sleep 2–4) - **In the room**: Stand TV, Nespresso coffee machine, Osulloc tea set, basic tableware, induction cooktop, microwave - **Bathroom**: Bathroom fan heater, basic toiletries, hair dryer - **Outdoors**: Private barbecue space for your own unit, fire-pit area - **Nearby**: Yeongwol Seobu Market, Cheongnyeongpo (filming location for the film The Man Who Lives With the King) *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* All summer I kept wanting to travel, but the heat was so brutal I decided home was best and kept putting it off. The moment the weather turned cool, I finally headed off to Yeongwol, Gangwon, for a healing trip. I'd been there once before, so as soon as I booked the stay the whole route just mapped itself out in my head. Here's my honest review of the private caravan stay in Yeongwol that made for a flawless, fully relaxing trip. ![Image introducing the 1-night, 2-day Yeongwol trip course](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-01-1iyyk-966.webp) ![Image summarizing the Yeongwol trip route](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-02-1xpmd-966.webp) ![Image introducing the Yeongwol couple trip itinerary](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-03-195nr-966.webp) ## Our 1-night, 2-day Yeongwol route: market, stay, restaurants - Day 1 lunch: Pungsuwon Restaurant (soy sauce marinated crab made with seed soy sauce) - Day 1 takeout: Yeongwol Seobu Market (Seobu soondae, Ilmi dakgangjeong, Mitangip memil jeonbyeong) - Day 1 stay: Yeongwol Caravan Deo Swim - Day 2 lunch: Sarangbang Restaurant (squid jeyuk bokkeum with barley rice) ## Inside Deo Swim's X1 caravan for two and its open mountain view ![Exterior of Deo Swim's private caravan surrounded by mountains](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-04-1cwh5-1200.webp) What I loved most about this trip was the Deo Swim caravan stay in Yeongwol. ![Full view of Deo Swim's two-person caravan room](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-05-10k7s-966.webp) It's a private stay that can fit anywhere from two to four guests, and we ended up in the two-person-only room, X1. ![Interior of the caravan with white wood design](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-06-1rb06-966.webp) The moment we stepped inside, the clean, charming white wood interior made us gasp a little. The bed was so wide and soft that we slept like babies. ![Wide, cozy bed in the caravan room](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-07-1mx2x-966.webp) Lying in bed, we could hear birds outside the window in the morning, and the whole view was a lush green mountainscape — just lying there felt healing! ![Green mountain view seen through the room window](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-08-m4j8c-966.webp) ![Sunset view from the Yeongwol caravan stay at dusk](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-09-1ckc5-966.webp) The sunset at dusk was so beautiful that it was truly the perfect Yeongwol couple's getaway to spend cozy time with my husband. ## Private barbecue space, fire pit and what the X1 room comes with ![Private barbecue space attached to the Deo Swim room](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-10-1flmv-966.webp) Another thing I loved was that Deo Swim thoughtfully set up a private barbecue space and a fire-watching zone right within the room. Aside from check-in, there's almost no overlap with other guests, so you can fully enjoy private time as a couple. ![Private fire-watching area](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-11-19hdj-966.webp) ![Stand TV and bed area in the room](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-12-q6483-966.webp) Inside the room, everything was thoughtfully provided — a stand TV you can watch comfortably from bed, a Nespresso coffee machine, and an Osulloc tea set. Waking up and drinking coffee and tea while looking at the mountains was so lovely. ![Nespresso coffee machine and Osulloc tea set](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-13-11sf9-935.webp) ![Kitchen area with basic tableware, induction stove, and microwave](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-14-18e0l-935.webp) Just a note: there's basic tableware, an induction stove, and a microwave available. ![Caravan bathroom with atmospheric interior design](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-15-1emfc-966.webp) ![Bathroom equipped with basic toiletries and hair dryer](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-16-1u4ew-966.webp) The bathroom was so pretty and atmospheric I wanted to bring the whole design home with me. There's a bathroom heater installed, so after showering it wasn't cold at all with the warm air on, and even though I have thick hair, the hair dryer dried it in no time — so convenient. Basic toiletries and a hair dryer were fully stocked too, which meant we could travel light. ## What to eat at Yeongwol Seobu Market, and two local restaurants reviewed ![Market food picked up from Yeongwol Seobu Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-17-1sp6x-966.webp) The stay matters, but so does the food, right? Before checking in at Deo Swim, we stopped by Seobu Market and picked up soondae (Korean blood sausage) from the Seobu soondae shop, dakgangjeong (sweet crispy fried chicken) from Ilmi, and memil jeonbyeong (buckwheat crepe rolls) and baechu jeon (cabbage pancake) from Mitangip. The memil jeonbyeong had a chewy wrapper and a generous filling — definitely worth buying at the market — and the soondae was genuinely impressive. ![Plate of Ilmi dakgangjeong takeout](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-18-1uu36-966.webp) Ilmi's dakgangjeong is made with chicken thigh, so it's juicy and delicious, though it does get a bit hard after sitting for a while. Still tasty enough that I'd buy it again next time. ![Table setting of Pungsuwon Restaurant's seed soy sauce marinated crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-19-whxn6-966.webp) The ganjang gejang (soy sauce marinated crab) we had for lunch before heading to the stay, at Pungsuwon Restaurant, was made with the owner's own seed soy sauce, and the crab quality and deep savory flavor really showed it. The next day for lunch we visited Sarangbang Restaurant, a Blue Ribbon-listed spot, where the seasoning wasn't overly strong and paired well with the barley rice — a solid, tidy meal. Cheongnyeongpo, known as a filming location for 'The Man Who Lives With the King,' is also close to the stay, so pairing the two makes for a great route. ![Scene of relaxation at the Yeongwol caravan stay](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1-20-1rmvm-966.webp) From the calm rest at the Yeongwol stay to the delicious market food, this trip left nothing to be desired! If planning a route feels like a hassle or you want a foolproof itinerary, just follow the Yeongwol caravan course we took. It was the kind of Yeongwol caravan stay perfect for quiet time together as a couple — one I'd love to visit again. ## Where it is - Deo Swim (영월 더 쉼) - 926-65 Donggang-ro, Yeongwol-eup, Yeongwol-gun, Gangwon-do, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 영월군 영월읍 동강로 926-65 - 37.2443493, 128.5185151 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%81%EC%9B%94%20%EB%8D%94%20%EC%89%BC/@37.2443493,128.5185151,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@city-appetite/yeongwol-the-shim-couple-caravan-x1/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
