Hesters,
a tradition on Kentucky Lake for many decades, has become the
“resort of choice” for folks looking for a clean, quiet and
enjoyable vacation location at a reasonable cost. We must be doing
something right since over 50% of our 2009 guests made reservations
for 2010 before leaving – many made reservations for 2011!
Hesters offers a small, friendly vacation setting on the edge of
beautiful Kentucky Lake. The rental units are located on a protected
point surrounded by water just off the main lake. Our marina store,
boat slips and rental boats provide everything needed for a lake
vacation.
Hesters has eleven rental units. Nine units are within 100 yards of
the water and provide for outdoor barbecuing, picnicking and
campfires. Two units are on a hill overlooking Hesters with a view
of the lake. All units are equipped with air conditioning, heat and
cable television. Each unit has a full kitchen with stove,
refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave, and toaster. Cooking pans,
utensils, dishes, bed linens and towels are furnished.
On Hesters’ grounds you will find a sand volley ball court, a
basketball court, playground area for children, game room with ping
pong, pool and fuss ball tables, and a small sandy beach with a
swimming dock. Within 30 minutes from Hesters, you will find golf
courses, nature trails, horseback riding, and restaurants. The Land
Between the Lakes with its beach area and quarry are a quick boat
ride from Hesters. Some guests are brave enough to scale the
quarry’s 60 foot cliffs and jump into the calm, deep water.
Hesters is flexible in meeting the vacation plans of resort guests
by offering weekly and daily rental rates with a minimum of a two
night stay. Check-in is 2:00 PM and check-out is 10:00 AM but we
will accommodate your travel plans whenever possible. We welcome
pets with the payment of a $50 fee for the stay
Our
full service marina offers gas, bait, tackle, fishing licenses, ice,
snack items, T shirts, and an area for cleaning fish. We have a ramp
for launching your boat and covered boat slips with electricity. We
are proud that Hesters has been certified a “Clean Marina” by the
Tennessee Valley Authority since 2007.
Many guests bring their boats to Hesters. Our boat slips rent for
$10 a day and we guarantee that at least one covered boat slip is
available for rent for each unit that is rented. Additional boats
are accommodated based upon availability of slips.
Hesters also has boats for rent at half day, daily three day, and
weekly rates.

Hesters sponsors
an annual fishing contest for guests. The contest pays $400 to the
guest that catches the largest bass and $400 to the guest that
catches the largest crappie. In 2009,
Aaron from Decatur, Illinois caught the
largest crappie and Ron from
Independence, KY caught the largest bass. Winning
the fishing contest could help pay for your Kentucky Lake vacation!
