About this property

London's Mountain House - Cozy Romantic mountain cabin - easy paved road access

BRAND NEW AC system with 3 mini split units - gone are the old window units. We also just replaced all the old windows with Pella double pane insulated windows. Most of the kitchen appliances have recently been replaced. We now have 2 smart TVs.

London's Mountain House is a cozy and comfortable mountain cabin tucked into a hillside near Robbinsville, North Carolina. Our guests can enjoy spending some quiet time nestled in the cabin with a welcoming porch, deck and outside swing, explore the many outdoor adventure sites, discover local artisans and their fabulous wares, or relax with a good book ending your day sitting around the fire pit watching the sunset over the Smoky Mountains.

Please understand for the comfort of all our guests there is no smoking and no VAPING anywhere on the property.

As you enter the cabin from the front deck entrance, our cozy living room/dining room welcome you with comfy chairs and country décor. The eat-in kitchen has everything you will need to prepare meals and all you need to bring is your desired foods. There is a FREE washer and drier with "starter" cleaning and laundry supplies. But feel free to bring your own. There is one bedroom and a full bath on the ground floor with 2 bedrooms and a full bath on the second floor. The attached and covered porch and deck has seating and a café-sized tables and an outside charcoal grill. There is a loveseat swing located in the yard facing west to view the sunsets. Our fire pit is down the small graveled path off the porch. The shared, gravel driveway has ample parking for multiple vehicles, even motorcycles! We have a supply of kickstand pads available. If you plan on parking your motorcycle on the covered concrete patio please bring something to prevent oil leaking onto the concrete..

Spend time hiking the Appalachian Trail, touring Fontana Dam, visiting local street festivals and fairs, enjoy the activities at the nearby Stecoah Valley Center, White Water Rafting the Nantahala, Tubing Deep Creek, visit the Cherokee Indian Village, or enjoy the National Forests. The mountains come alive with local outdoor shows, shopping in Cherokee, 'Unto These Hills' outdoor theatre, or enjoying the local cuisine. For the motorcycle or sports car enthusiast, we are only 15-20 minutes from Deals Gap and Tail of the Dragon and just off the Moonshiner 28! There are many waterfalls and other scenic opportunities for the photographers.

Londons' Mountain House is secluded in the southern Smoky Mountains, yet only 12 miles from the Robbinsville grocery stores, restaurants and shopping. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is just to the north with scenic drives to Fontana Lake and Dam, Cades Cove and the Ocanuluftee Visitor Center just minutes away. A short drive brings you to Bryson City and Cherokee where you can visit Indian museums, go shopping for native crafts, or visit the casinos. A scenic drive beyond Cherokee takes you to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, TN. Or travel to Asheville, NC, (about one & a half hours away) to the beautiful Biltmore House and experience America’s largest home surrounded by inspiring gardens, America's most-visited winery, and the interpretive River Bend Farm.

Nearby is the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad for an old time scenic ride or dinner train, the Cheoah, Nantahala or Tuckasegee Rivers for up to Class IV+ whitewater rafting or milder 'rafting with the kids', and three horseback riding stables.

For the hiker, the Appalachian Trail is only 5 miles away at Stecoah Gap. From there you can go south to Nantahala Gorge or north to Clingman's Dome, the highest point on the Appalachian Trail in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. There are other shorter trails close by to explore for those who desire day hikes.

For the boaters and fisherman and swimmers, Fontana Lake offers fishing, canoeing, kayaking and picnicking and swimming just two miles away on a lake that has a shoreline that is 80% undeveloped. A marina offers fuel, bait, tackle, boat rentals, equipment rentals, boat launching, and dock space.

For those that enjoy driving or cycling on challenging roads, the famous Route 129 - Tail of the Dragon at Deal's Gap is just 18 miles north, The Moonshiner 28 is just minutes away offering an alternative to “The Dragon.” The scenic Cherohala Skyway starts just a few miles to the west and you can jump on the southern end of the famous Blue Ridge Parkway in less than an hour.

There are security and convenience measures present in the house. There are NO cameras on the property except Ring doorbells by the front and rear doors.

We are veteran owned and offer special rates for LEO's and K9's

ENJOY your time at the London’s mountain House!

Quick Mountain Stay

We were visiting family in the area so this cabin was in a great location and not far from where we were traveling to. The cabin had everything you could think of and all we needed our groceries. Alot of the restaurants seemed to be closed on the weekend which I thought was strange so we just cooked at the cabin. Beware of the dogs when driving in and out. They will chase your car and try to nip at your tires. I was so afraid I was going to hit one even though i was going super slow. With that being said, they did not follow us to the cabin. The view was breath taking. I just wish we were able to stay longer!!!

Thanksgiving Getaway

The cabin had good views and ample parking. It was far enough out that there was little noise pollution. The kitchen was well appointed, though a little crowded for more than 1 cook. The weather was great, cold without snow. My daughter enjoyed crossstitching on the swing. We are from Tallahassee, Fl and have 2 seasons- hot and slightly cooler. It was nice to have a cold Thanksgiving. The only downside was the steep stairs to the 2nd level and even these would be fine with younger children.

My family had an amazing 2 day stay at this lovely cabin. The place had all the amenities you could imagine! The weather was wonderful. Coming from central Florida you couldn't even think about dining outdoors in the evening. To top it off the view and landscape was beautiful! We truly enjoyed our stay here.

Wonderful time!

We had a wonderful time. Property is beautiful, cabin was clean and cozy. The cabin was even better equipped then what we had hoped and had all the basics covered. Only complaints were that the down stairs bedroom's bed was a little more firm then what I am used too, and lacks any clothing storage. For us, those were minor issues and will definitely be staying here again! Overall one of the best vacation rental experiences I have ever had.

Cozy Home in the Smokies

The owners are great hosts! We stayed here in 2019 on one of our trips to the Smokies. When the cabins we usually stayed in was sold at the end of 2023, we looked on VRBO to see if this house was still renting out and it was! We called the hosts and got all our dates booked for our 3 trips this year. We absolutely love their cozy cottage! It’s great for motorcycle trips or having to trailer your bikes there is ample parking/unloading area to work with. Already looking forward to the next 2 trips!

About the host

Hosted by Al & Heidi London

Host profile image
We bought this property because we go to Robbinsville annually for an event called Minis on the Dragon. We decided we'd like to come more often and have our own a place to stay. We have been involved in various types of real estate for the last 30 years. We both retired and are back to work part-time so we don't go stir crazy. I was a school system Director of Auxiliary Services which included everything having to do with the "non-educational end" of running a school district. I also have a background in law enforcement. My wife is an RN. We call the Florida Panhandle home.

Why they chose this property

Once we decided to purchase a home in Graham County, we looked a many properties. This house kept coming to the top of our list because it was well taken care of, has good "bones" and gave us a homey, welcoming feeling when we first saw it. We are in process of changing a few things here and there to make it more in line with our ideas.

What makes this property unique

We really like the solitude and yet the home has the proximity to so much. Fontana Village Resort is only a short distance down the road, The Nantahala and NOC is close by, The Cherohala Skyway is less than 15 minutes away as is the Appalachian Trail. We really enjoy the firepit. Our neighbors are great and there is a real sense of community and sharing. In the several years we have been visitng Graham County, we have come to enjoy the area and the people.
