Getting there

Most guests arrive via Pittsburgh International Airport, roughly an hour's drive northwest across the Pennsylvania state line into the northern panhandle of West Virginia. The route follows Interstate 70 west through rolling Appalachian foothills before descending into the Ohio River valley, where Wheeling's historic industrial skyline comes into view. As the highway gives way to tree-lined parkway, the road climbs steadily into the forested hills above the city, delivering you to Oglebay Resort's sprawling 2,000-acre estate - a verdant retreat that has served as West Virginia's premier year-round destination since the 1920s.
