A Legacy
of Hospitality
A tradition of generous hospitality
began at the summer estate of Earl
W. Oglebay in Wheeling, WV, when he
willed his spectacular country estate
to the City of Wheeling for public
recreation nearly 100 years ago. Today,
the picturesque beauty of Oglebay’s
property has expanded to 2,000 acres
of year-round recreational activities and
exceptional overnight accommodations
amid the property’s natural beauty.
Guests can experience the life and
legacy of Oglebay through a visit to his
iconic yellow mansion or by taking a
stroll through the Bissonnette Gardens.
Along with an aerial challenge course,
hiking and walking trails, swimming,
tennis and horseback riding, guests can
also experience more than 60 species
of animals at Oglebay’s Good Zoo.
Imagine running your fingers through the
plush fur of an endangered red panda,
hanging out with a two-toed sloth or
looking a snow leopard square in the
eye. At Oglebay’s Good Zoo, Dr. Joe
Greathouse and his staff make dreams
reality with awe-inspiring animal
encounters for adults and children alike.
Oglebay is also known for its world-
class golfing amenities. Home to four
championship golf courses, including
the illustrious Arnold Palmer-designed
Klieves Course and the ever-popular
Robert Trent Jones Sr.-designed
Speidel Course, Oglebay is truly a
golfer’s paradise. After a round of golf,
take advantage of Oglebay’s nationally
ranked spa services. Ranked 68 out
of the top 100 spas across the U.S.,
guests can exhale stress and anxiety
and inhale relaxation and tranquility
at Oglebay’s West Spa with its full
offering of spa services, including
massages, nail services and facials.
From November through January,
Oglebay is transformed into a winter
wonderland as guests travel from near
and far to experience the time-honored
tradition of the Winter Festival of Lights,
which has delighted thousands of
guests for more than three decades.
Named one of the 10 Best Christmas
Light Displays in the U.S. by AOL Travel,
the festival features 80 larger-than-life
exhibits spanning more than 300 acres.
Come, stay and play at Oglebay.
