First off, this is the first review I have ever written for any place, item, etc. I feel compelled to do so because of the experience my family just had at Tyler Place Resort. Our family of 5 (kids 3.5.7) just got back from our week long vacation in Vermont. We have been luck enough to go on several family vacations over the last few years (Disney, south Cal, Beaver creek CO, Atlantis). This vacation was head and shoulders above all others!!!
We were invited to go by close friends of ours and we were on the waiting list for a spot until spring. we had other vacation plans, but cancelled them when we got in (our friends told us it would be worth it). Its hard to get into especially peak summer weeks.
This is a very unique place-Family camp if you will. every day kids go to "camp sessions" from 8:30-1:30 and 5:30-8:30. we were worried it would be like day-care, where the kids are just waiting for the minutes to go by till you picked them up- but it was just the opposite. the kids have a BLAST! energetic counselors with tons of fun activities. they would be waiting at the front door of our cottage at 8:15 am asking when they can go. family time in afternoons was great- time on lake, bike rides, archery, fishing, etc. ok, here is the best part...7 days- that's 21 meals with just you and your spouse. tons of free time all morning, 3 hours at dinner for cocktail hour and dinner. no kid overload. they had a blast, we had a blast. perfect balance of time between kids, spouse, friends.
