Resorts In and Around Hesston, Pennsylvania
- Right within the town limits of Hesston reside a few resort options for travelers. One property, the Pleasant Hills Resort, offers guests the option of staying in private cottages that are close enough to lake activities, yet set back far enough to enjoy the solitude of the area. Additional lodging offerings include Aunt Susie's Country Vacations, Warrior Ridge Hideaway and the Lay-Z Pine Lane Cabins.
- Saxton is located less than 20 miles from the heart of Hesston and Raystown Lake. Several resorts are located in Saxton, including the Heritage Cove Resort, a full-service lodging facility that affords guests additional amenities including full-size kitchens and bathrooms, fireplaces, and cabin rentals to make a stay both convenient and comfortable. A Four Seasons is also located in Saxton, although the property resides between the town of Saxton and Raystown Lake.
- Directly situated along the banks of Raystown Lake are lodging choices for those seeking to be as close to the water as possible. Resort offerings include Raystown Lake Seven Points Lodge and the Lake Raystown Family Camping Resort. Raystown Lake, though technically four miles from the center of Hesston, is the physical address and location of the lake itself. The expansive lake, comprising more than 8,300 acres, is technically a manmade reservoir that provides plenty of activities for guests, including boating, which draws many people to the area.
- James Creek, a small town located roughly eight miles from Hesston, offers additional lodging options for those seeking a more resort-type setting for their vacation or getaway to the area. Options range from private cabins at the Shy Beaver Lakeview Estates to the Mountain Water Chalets, slightly up the road from James Creek in Marklesburg, Pennsylvania.
