About this property
The Adventure Begins at the Trail Head Lodge....
Hi, the Trailhead Lodge is a pet friendly full service lodge with on-site innkeeper support and service amenities. Our property provides a rejuvenating experience for families, friends and solo travelers alike. The Lodge is part of the Wolf Laurel community and is close to high adventure water rafting (CL III/IV), zip lines, French Broad and Nolichucky River floats and Asheville’s markets and meals! We have space and grace so come enjoy our views and hospitality.
We have 2 private rooms that share a common bathroom and a semi-private room that adjoins the bunk room/rec room basement. The basement bunk room has a separate bathroom.
Our innkeeper support gives you tidy services and laundry support so you can totally focus on your planned activities, rest and relaxation. Logistics on the mountain are localized and take additional time. We give you that time back or assist you with day - day prep. We assist with meals so you can leave early and come back to a ready feast from zip line adventure or hiking. We also provide tea and coffee service all day for those that want to Lounge at the Lodge.
Our innkeeper maintains a fully separate suite that adjoins the laundry, kitchen and cleaning area to maintain prep and services for your visit. You will love letting us host your visit.

About the host
Hosted by Doug Orman
Hello and Greetings! My name is Doug Orman. I own, operate and maintain the magic and majesty that is the Trail Head Lodge in the Wolf Laurel Community. I am a retired US Army Special Forces Lieutenant Colonel and with my girlfriend, Sally McCauley, we have opened our doors and 'back-yard' of the Pisgah and Cherokee National Forest to better help you and yours share the beauty of our nation in hopes that we can better understand how to protect it for the future of others and grown personal partnerships in the process. The lodge was my part of my 'life-plan' to allow me a 'reverse snow-bird' experience from the tropical summers and Hurricane instabilities that occur with a primary residence in Florida. I have many life-support hobbies that the lodge lets me explore...whether it be cooking, hiking, providing trail support and counsel, logistics planning or just spinning a yarn...it's all part of me at the lodge.
Why they chose this property
2 Words, 2 times: Wolf Laurel; Appalachian Trail. The Trail Head Lodge (THL) is situated at the foot of Big Bald Moutain and directly at the TN-NC state line gap. The THL is also protected by a gated and roving security enforced community with hiking access for pick-up and drop off 24/7 from a private parking lot only available to residents of Wolf Laurel. Guests of the THL can experience a guided trip to the top of Big Bald with myself, the owner and innkeeper, via 4x4 and legal waiver access! It is a special allure of this property. We also have ski-in//ski-out access to the SKI THE WOLF resort. The property was one of the initial properties developed in the 80's and is situated in a turn that gives it complete privacy and a vista that compares with much more precariously situated homes here on the mountain. The basement of the property provides guest the privacy, rest, recreation and relaxation of their choosing but also allows families to supervise the recreation room activities. The THL embraces the sounds of music and has an upright and electric piano available for play. The THL is a gateway for a journey ...take and share your path with us!
