Other attractions include the Underwater Ecology Hall, Mongol Experience Hall, exotic suiseki, and garden stones. Fossils come from various countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, China, and Brazil.

The main building is composed of main hall (daecheong maru), underfloor heating system, a kitchen, and an attic; the detached building, meanwhile, includes underfloor heating, a kitchen, and a bathroom. Both main building and detached building have two rooms (big room and small room). If you book the big room, you can use the maru (living room) between the rooms as well.

There is a seminar room with a beam projector and audio equipment, which can be utilized for group events. The owner runs not just Hyangudang Hanok Stay but also several farms. Thus, guests can participate in various activities using natural materials such as apple picking, magnolia tea making, natural dye making, and others.
