My family goes to Oglebay occasionally for a little weekend vacation, and we've stayed here every time. We always stay in the old section because it is cheaper. The rooms are clean and comfortable. In the summer, the balcony/patio attached to your room is a great place to relax at night after a big meal in the restaurant, which has a pricey but excellent buffet. The lodge has a great pool and hot tub, fitness center, and some ping pong tables that are always fun. The lounge has a piano and game boards [get the pieces at the front desk]. There are also organized activities throughout the day. There is a FABULOUS buffet breakfast included in the price, and you should not miss it.

At Christmas and during the winter, it is so much fun to go to dinner and see the lights. There are also hot drinks and cookies every night. It's the perfect way to relax and enjoy the holiday spirit! In January we've also gone to the train show, which is quite large and interesting.

In the summer, there are so many things to do. The lodge has activity wristbands at an additional cost that are a great deal! They include admission to the zoo and laser show, outdoor pool, mini golf, par 3 golf, glass museum, mansion, etc. The grounds are beautiful, and it's a great trip for families of all ages.

We spend a weekend in one of the cabins almost every winter. You have full access to the lodge when you rent a cabin so it is the best of both worlds. The cabins offer privacy, have huge stone fireplaces and are great for a family/friends getaway. There are plenty of activities both indoor and outdoor. Ex. indoor pool, skiing, horseback riding, hiking, ping pong, sledding, etc.

My husband and I stayed in the new part of Wilson Lodge in a king bed room on the night of 1/1/12. The room was very nice, with a nice fireplace, and the bathroom was great - lots of room, a tub and a separate shower, two sinks, lots of nice towels, robes, and a towel warmer! Our package included a buffet breakfast, which had plentiful food and was very nice. The entire lodge was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and there was free evening entertainment. The buffet dinner was a separate purchase, but was also very good. We also enjoyed driving through the light displays.

We had to attend a funeral in powhatan point and there were no hotel rooms available in the area. ( this was in Dec) I had no idea the resort was there.... just happened to find it on the internet. We had a king room with a fireplace and it was wonderful!! The resort was decorated for christmas and we also drove through the festival of lights. I would love to go back when we have more time to enjoy the area and all the ammenities. The spa looked wonderful.....as did the indoor pool. We did enjoy a steak dinner in the dining room and later had a drink at the pub. The only disappointment was the pub stopped serving food at 10 pm.... other family members were wanting to eat a late snack. I will definately go back and enjoy this beautiful resort!!!
