Guest Comments for 2008
'07 was our first year. In order to fully appreciate the Tyler family resort, you have to return the following year -- in '08 it felt like a high school reunion! We had a marvelous time and our eight-year-old loved the independence that she can't have anywhere else! Thanks for a great family vacation! ” — M & C, Manchester, NH, Inn #2 — 2008
21 meals without kids. Kids always happy and entertained = one great break for all. Thank you. ” — R & A, Mendham, NJ, Elmwood West — 2008
A bad day at Tyler Place is better than a good time at home. ” — B & R, Newark, DE, Ferncroft E — 2008

A great place with great facilities, great staff, great concept and great execution. ” — D & L, Washington, DC, Whistler — 2008
A great vacation to take with the kids. You get me time", "us time" and "family time" every day! ” — B & S, Brandenton, FL, Partridge — 2008
A highlight of our year. Our 7-year old wants to live here forever. ” — D & K, Princeton, NJ, Goose — 2008
A lot of the success of our first week at Tyler Place was related to two things: the other guests and the staff. The other guests are very nice people and allow us to easily integrate into their circles of friends and activities. The staff is exceptional for their talents, can-do attitude and willingness to go he extra mile" to make good things better and bad things (like rain) quite tolerable. ” — T & M, Radnor, PA, Ferncroft B — 2008
A perfect blend of activities for adults, kids and families and the food is to die for! When people say there is no customer service anymore, they are not talking about Tyler Place. TP should give lessons to other businesses. ” — D & P, Mahwah, NJ, Inn #3 — 2008
A variety of activities. The diversity of the amount of things to do/or not to do. Excellent staff -- makes TP the best place! Excellent food -- mind-boggling great meals -- 5-star! ” — E & D, Devon, PA, Winnie's — 2008
A very unique resort. One of the only in the U.S. that caters to children under 4 years old. Being parents of a 17 month old and almost 3 year old, we desperately needed a true vacation. Our days were filled with lazy afternoons and hammocks and hot tubs, knowing our children were in excellent hands and having a ball. ” — B & K, Diplomat, APO, AE, Franklin House — 2008

Accommodation was great. We had a wonderful week. Children love this place. We liked the extra special touches you added this year to celebrate the Fourth of July! Already looking forward to next year! Loved the talent show! And hand churned ice cream! ” — D & P, Mahwah, NJ, Mrs. T's — 2008
After 10 years, The Tyler Place remains our sanctuary to relax, refresh and rejuvenate. This year was just as marvelous as our very first week here. Thank you for making our stay memorable, our stomachs full and our network of friends ever increasing. ” — M & P, Bedford, MA, Inn #103 — 2008
After 10 years, we still cannot get enough of The Tyler Place. It is bar none the best place for a family vacation. We tell all our friends that they should be coming here, too. ” — C & L, Redwood City, CA, Redhead — 2008
After 75 years, you've got a formula for perfection! Our second summer as a family was even more fun than the first! I loved being a kid at The Tyler Place and being a grownup here is tons of fun as well, especially watching my daughter make a best friend for the week. ” — M & S, Montclair, NJ, Inn #101 — 2008
After a two-year hiatus, we returned to Tyler Place for our 8th visit to Highgate Springs. As usual, we all had an excellent time. The kids, a little older now, were that much more independent, but this only seemed to make them enjoy it more. We parents enjoyed the superb mix of athletics and entertainment, but even more important than that, we once again found ourselves immersed in that, We've just met these people but we seem to have known them for ever". That is a definite characteristic of Tyler Place. Keep up the good work. ” — D & I, Brooklyn, NY, Carriage House IV — 2008
After being here six years, we still find The Tyler Place and the staff to be impressive. We are just diehard fans and already look forward to year #7. My children have (and continue) to grow up here and my 10-year old wants to be a counselor someday. I can't think of a better endorsement than that! ” — J & S, Marlton, NJ, Sandpiper — 2008
After seven years at The Tyler Place, it is as magical as ever for our family. Every year actually gets better and better as the kids and my husband and I try new activities and deepen our knowledge and pleasure at Tyler Place! ” — A & R, New York, NY, Partridge I — 2008
After six years, we still love this place, especially for the kids. Keep up the great work! ” — P & R, Baltimore, MD, Canvasback — 2008
Again, the perfect vacation for family time, couple time, kid time and alone time. I can't think of another vacation destination where every family member's diverse needs get met the way they do at The Tyler Place. ” — F & A, Hingham, MA, Ferncroft D — 2008
All around great place with free time for adults and great times for children. ” — J & M, Babylon, NY, Mallard — 2008
All the rain did not dampen this week! Seemed to bring people closer. Lots of conversation, happy faces. Our son is aging out" this year. We cannot fathom figuring out a family vacation for next summer after nine years of T.P. Tyler Place has been a magical experience -- we recommend Tyler Place to everyone we know. All is not lost yet. A group of "us" with kids who are aging out may be back in 2009! The kids want to continue the tradition of T.P. and we parents want the total relaxation, pleasure and friendship of Tyler Place. Here's to 2009! Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain - don't let your children turn 16! ” — P & W, Ivyland, PA, Farmhouse South — 2008
Always a terrific vacation to unwind with (and without!) the kids. We enjoy the variety of activities so much at the resort, we really never, ever need to leave. Even more so, we enjoy the friendship of returning families every year we e-join" to share time together from all over the country. Our children are now older, having grown up at The Tyler Place over the years. They've remained welcome year after year, however, and your acceptance of them as "youngest adults" makes them more appreciative of the family vacation. I/we can't think of many families still taking a vacation with their 17 and 18 year old children -- but we do it because this works! ” — D & L, Cheshire, CT, Farmhouse Down — 2008
Always love The Tyler Place - great experience for the kids and super guests to spend time with! ” — S & D, Bristow, VA, Goose — 2008
An excellent vacation for all of the ages in our family again. We never saw our teen! He has met wonderful friends. We saw smiles on the faces of our 2, 5, & 6 year olds the whole week. Family vacation extraordinaire! ” — M & K, Wildwood, MO, Lisa — 2008
An outstanding family vacation! The kids were excited to participate in their groups and couldn't wait to join them. Personally, mom and dad did activities that truly were outstanding and challenging! Even a rainy week didn't stop the fun or dampen the staff's enthusiasm. ” — C & L, Bridgewater, NJ, Inn #101 — 2008
Andrea B. - phenomenal massage; great lady and asset to The Tyler Place. Nature Dave - WOW! Very knowledgeable and terrific with kids. Having a one-on-one counselor made all the difference in the world. We were able to relax for the first time in two years. ” — M & C, Tucson, AZ, Sandpiper — 2008
Another fabulous year! Thank you, Tyler Place for five years of an ideal vacation. Our family of four looks forward to our week here and we're never disappointed!! ” — P & C, Mountainside, NJ, Winnie's — 2008
Another fantastic year. We look forward all year to relaxing at Tyler Place. My almost 4-year old has been talking about her
ed house" and camp since January and couldn't wait to get to camp every day. She even got brave enough to try the slide at the indoor pool. It's great to let her experience things she may not get to experience elsewhere. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and we feel so rested after leaving. My daughter even wants to live here. Again, another excellent year. ” — K & M, Hillsborough, NJ, Ferncroft B — 2008
Another great summer at T.P. We talk about Tyler Place all year and look forward to it so our kids can't imagine summer without it. Thanks again! ” — C & E, Larchmont, NY, Champlain — 2008
Another great week (even in the rain). There are few resorts that welcome 2-month olds with open arms. There are few resorts that keep the whole family busy -- rain or shine. There are very few resorts that can check in a family with young children at 5:20 p.m. on Saturday and get them to dinner by 6:30 p.m. Thanks for being outstanding (and giving us a break). ” — D & K, New York, NY, Gander — 2008

Another magical week at Tyler Place! Every year our girls look forward to their old favorites" (zip line, tubing). There are always new things to discover. Our 8-year-old learned to water-ski thanks to the patient boat guys and the girls spent an afternoon catching frogs! Nowhere else but the T.P. can you have such pure, old-fashioned fun! ” — C & M, Oak Park, IL, Park — 2008

As my kids have moved through the various groups (now I have a Pre-teen and a Teen), I continue to be impressed with the sense of belonging they have at The Tyler Place community.

Efficiency of the staff. Flexibility. Cleanliness. Nice, relaxed atmosphere. Food was great. Perhaps a more extensive wine list (especially wine by the glass). Martini list was perfect. More outside dining space would be good -- the view is so special and the air relaxing. Books in lounge -- excellent variety. New York Times -- good.

I found the following staff/counselors to be exceptionally good in some way: Musa (kitchen staff) was a friendly and helpful dealer at Monte Carlo and omelet maker. Walt the tennis pro gave a great lesson, ran a tournament & was very friendly as bar staff in the lounge. Katherine from Tennessee was charming & went the extra mile. She was always friendly. She made an effort to get us involved & she was a great canoe trip guide. Quintin Tyler made an extra effort to invite me to the golf outing & the day was great. The bar/lounge staff was great. Kate, Hector, Walt & Becky were each personable & hard working. Becky & Walt went above & beyond any level of service I could have expected. ” — M & R, Riverview, FL, Inn #4 — 2008

I love hearing about what the kids did at pickup time. The best thing about this place is our daughter (the Junior) can walk in a room full of boys playing hockey or dodge ball and go past them to her coloring group and have fun. Boys can be crazy and she can be a princess and they both can have a good time. They aren't forced to do the same thing. ” — M & P, Collierville, TN, Tyler Up — 2008
I love it here. Your staff is incredible, down to the person. Your pools are delightful. There is something for everyone (or nothing if that's what you prefer).

I really enjoyed the easy-going attitude/atmosphere. For example, when we used sports equipment, we just walked up and asked for what we wanted -- no formal check-out" or forms to sign. That was great. We were really impressed by the attentiveness and enthusiasm of the childcare staff. They were fabulous. ” — K & K, Virginia Beach, VA, Franklin House I — 2008
I repeatedly tell people who ask about our vacation at Tyler Place, It's my favorite week of the year!!" Thanks again for another great week. ” — T & K, Roxbury, MA, Tyler South — 2008
I think that the single thing that impressed me the most (among many, many other positive things) was the can-do-anything" attitude shown by all of the staff members that I encountered. Without exception, everyone who works here seemed so eager to make my family's stay perfect. This attitude seems so lacking elsewhere these days, so it was a wonderful thing to encounter here. ” — K & M, Mohomet, IL, Mallard — 2008
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It is the perfect formula for a single man with two boys. The three of us had fun and met great new people. Everybody -- guests, counselors, staff -- were friendly. We enjoyed the family time together and I couldn't believe I had 21 meals with adults. ” — N, Montreal, Quebec, Inn #101 — 2008
I want to become a vegetarian and thought I would have to restart the process when I got back home. To my surprise, the Tyler Place offered a wide variety of vegetarian dishes. It was easy to maintain my vegetarian diet and truly enjoy the cuisine. Thanks. ” — T & S, Marriottsville, MD, Carriage House II — 2008
I would have never guessed that after our first year here that we would still be returning seven years later. ” — B & L, Downers Grove, IL, Inn #4 — 2008
I would like to thank the kitchen and dining room staff for attention to my special dietary needs. I am on a wheat-free and gluten-free diet. Chef Nancy Shaw and dining room staff, Mary and Genevieve were very helpful at each meal. ” — H & W, Stow, MA, Inn #3 — 2008
If I could write a love letter, I would! We'll be counting the days till next year. Thanks. ” — J & E, Winchester, MA, Willow — 2008

It is now our fourth year and we love it; this year we realized how great this week is for our almost 7-year-old as it gave him freedom that he doesn't get back home (riding his bike to group for example). ” — W & L, Roslyn, NY, Tyler North — 2008
It is such a treat to have a vacation where I get to spend quality time with my spouse and other adults, as well as quality time with my kids. ” — C & A, Newtonville, MA, Carriage House II — 2008
It took me three days last summer to get used to not seeing my kids during mealtimes, but now that I am acclimated, I see this vacation as an amazing time for my husband and me. We have so much free time together -- something that we don't have during the year. ” — T & J, Bethesda, MD, Quai — 2008
It was a great eighth year in a row -- every year we discover new things to do! See you next year for sure! ” — G & L, Arlington, MA, Inn #7-8 — 2008
It was a great, active vacation for the whole family. ” — J & J, Larchmont, NY, Elmwood East — 2008
It was a perfect week for us. Our 9-year-old son loved the Seniors program. Best of all, he loved having his own bike and riding it alone to his group and back. Meanwhile, we parents enjoyed many adult activities: yoga, archery, kayak trips, massage, tennis and more! All of us loved the food! Thank you for a wonderful week. We'll see you next year! ” — C & M, Oak Park, IL, Partridge I — 2008

It was great to be back after a 4-year break. We had been here seven years in a row starting when our son was 3 1/2. Then we took four years off. Our son is now 14 1/2 -- was in the teen group. He had a blast. We got to have a second honeymoon! It was the best possible way for our family to have the perfect vacation. Also, I am currently in Weight Watchers and even though the desserts were tempting, I was able to eat very healthy meals. Thank you for a fantastic week. ” — D & L, Weymouth, MA, Inn #102 — 2008
It was great to be former guests and see friends we had met last year. Tyler Place is a wonderful place to relax, enjoy great activities, meet really nice people, enjoy family time and eat delicious food. ” — T & G, Concord, NH, Goose — 2008
It was great to have adult time and do all the activities I haven't done since sleep-away camp (water skiing). I liked the variety of activities and the flexibility to pick and choose. My Junior loved the camp and activities and even tried a few new types of food. ” — M & E, Westport, CT, McGlynn — 2008
It was great to have adult time and know our children were safe and happy in group. We loved the adult activities and our children loved theirs. Everyone was happy and excited for each new day.

Thank you! ” — J & K, McLean, VA, Carriage House III — 2008
It was heavenly! ” — J & C, Granby, MA, Ferncroft C — 2008
It was our first year and we had high expectations based on other guests' comments - what we read on trip advisor. Well, our experience definitely lived up to all the great things others said. As foodies, it was an added bonus that the food was as delicious as it was! The staff is extremely accommodating -- their service attitude surpassed what we've experienced in 5-star resorts! The cheerful attitude of your staff, particularly during this week's power outage was incredible. The kitchen staff managed to produce an outstanding meal, and everyone was so gracious despite the inconvenience. ” — L & T, Pittsburgh, PA, Inn #4 — 2008
It's a great setup. The staff work very hard to make everyone feel comfortable. It's really a special place -- the fact that it provides such a high quality of activities and fun for all ages! ” — J & C, Philadelphia, PA, Carriage House II — 2008
It's a total vacation for the entire family -- kids and adults. We are 100% energized and recharged to face the world. ” — G & P, New Canaan, CT, Ferncroft B — 2008
It's impossible not to enjoy your stay at The Tyler Place. The Tyler family has perfected the family vacation. The number and variety of activities for kids and adults is mind-boggling. The kids programs are exceptionally well run and staffed by counselors who go out of their way to ensure that each child is having fun. For the fourth year in a row, nonstop fun activities for the children allowed us to enjoy ourselves secure in the knowledge that our kids were having a great time, too. The perfect balance of family time, alone time, time together as a couple, and opportunities to socialize with other adults. ” — S & S, Vienna, VA, Inn #104 — 2008

It's so relaxing to know our children are being cared for by outgoing, competent individuals and they are having a great time, too! ” — D & D, Chesterbrook, PA, Woodcrest — 2008
It's worth a visit for the food alone, not to mention all the other wonderful activities. ” — T & R, Phoenix, AZ, Goldeneye — 2008
Just an idyllic family vacation spot. Tyler Place never gets old -- only more relaxing and rewarding as we return each summer. The adults can undertake as much or as little as they like and the kids would never leave if they had the option. ” — S & A, New York, NY, Kingfisher — 2008
Just like family, but better! ” — R & S, Naples, FL, Mrs. T's — 2008
Just overall love the concept of entertainment for the kids and time for the parents to reconnect with other adults. ” — J & A, Trumbull, CT, Pintail — 2008

Katherine (Adult Entertainment) was super! Always positive and enthusiastic. I would have her again in a heartbeat. ” — K & S, Atlanta, GA, Teal — 2008
Keep doing what you're doing! P.S. My children say family time should be shorter! Our only regret is not finding The Tyler Place earlier!! ” — D & A, New York, NY, Partridge II — 2008
Keepin' it brief - FANTASTIC! ” — J & A, Bethesda , MD, Park — 2008

Kids? What kids? It was terrific to have the chance to do all the things we love to do before the babies came along. Biking, swimming, tennis -- even a triathlon! I loved it. Next year hopefully we'll be back and won't have any injuries! ” — S & J, Brooklyn, NY, Woodcrest — 2008
Knowing our kids were so happy allowed me to relax entirely. The variety of activities meant that my husband and I could be as busy (or not) as we wanted to be. We thoroughly enjoyed all of our time on the lake and the river -- it was simply beautiful. ” — M & T, Bethany, CT, Lakeview — 2008
Leaving a 4-year old in a new place is almost as scary for the parent as it is for the child. The counselors here put everyone at ease. Our Senior Midget started waking up early to go to camp and couldn't wait to go back. It was hard for us to compete during family time. Thanks for giving us a run for the money. ” — A & A, Alexandria, VA, Woodduck — 2008
Lots of choices of activities, good balance of couple time and family time, can be as active as you want or relax in a hammock and do nothing. Something of interest for everyone, everyone is very friendly, lots of opportunities to meet people. ” — A & L, Montclair, NJ, Inn #102 — 2008
Lots of fun activities for adults and kids. Food was excellent! Eating with other adults each night was a nice change from our normal routine. Fishing trip with Gil (chartered) was a highlight, enjoyed very much. ” — R & T, Hauppauge, NY, Farmhouse Up — 2008
Love it -- can't wait to come back! My shy boy (10) announced to me that this was the first time since we've been coming that he wasn't afraid to go into group and that he was actually looking forward to it. I know it sounds small, but really big for us! Thank you! ” — J & D, Bartonville, TX, Bayview — 2008
Love that you do not skimp on activities, amenities and counselors. Love the family" feel. Love especially your 21st-century take on letting kids do adventurous things without a ton of rules.

Love the adult-only meals -- such a great vacation for the family. ” — C & D, Bradenton, FL, Stork — 2008

Met nice, friendly families. Kids love the independence. Kids made friends at kids program. Lots of vegetarian choices at meals. ” — J & A, Golden Bridge, NY, Inn #117-118 — 2008
Most relaxing vacation of my adult life. On the way there, I told my wife that if The Tyler Place came through on even half of the things in the brochure, it would be fantastic. As it turns out, everything was 100% true. Meeting the other guests may have been the best part -- what a group of intelligent, interesting, fun people. ” — S & J, Churchville, MD, Ferncroft B — 2008
My 4-1/2 year old daughter: "I liked banana boating! And the counselors were awesome!" My 6-1/2 year old son: "I love everything! Thanks, Tylers, for everything!" ” — E & E, Bethesda, MD, Sandpiper — 2008
My 6-year old daughter thinks that Tyler Place must be paradise. The food was always excellent. ” — R & N, North Plainfield, NJ, Inn #3 — 2008
My 7-year old wants to buy Lakeview so he can come back as much as he wants (doesn't that say it all?). It makes for such a wonderful vacation when you know your children are so well cared for and are having so much fun. It lets the grownups take some time to be a kid. ” — J & L, Cherry Hill, NJ, Lakeview — 2008
My children said they loved everything" about The Tyler Place. Job well done. ” — M & B, Larchmont, NY, Carriage House II — 2008

My family was the beneficiary of a last-minute cancellation by another family. During the prior part of our vacation, my twins were (figuratively speaking) at war. At TTP, each made his/her own friends and each had a wonderful time. Best vacation we've had in years. Now I wish I'd learned of The Tyler Place years ago! ” — M, New York, NY, Inn #102 — 2008
My kids were so happy. I loved seeing their happy faces every day. Great place for families!! ” — R & D, Megadim, Ferncroft B — 2008

My son loved to run on the lawn behind our cottage to play with the little boy next door. He never had so much freedom. This place is wonderful for families! ” — A & A, Alexandria, VA, Popcorn — 2008
Nature Dave is the highlight of our daughter's trip. He provides many wonderful opportunities that she looks forward to each year. ” — B & F, Arlington, VA, Park — 2008
Nice to be able to see people enjoy each other out of their usual environment. Guests have found or rediscover their own interpretation of relaxation, whether a returning guest or a first-timer, old learn quickly the secret ingredients of laughter, quiet moments, a good meal and of course, the attention to detail of a well-managed staff. ” — C & L, Bethesda, MD, Carriage House I — 2008
Nine happy cousins with memories forever! ” — H & J, San Francisco, CA, Lisa — 2008
Nine-year-old son This was the best vacation ever!" The food was amazing -- fresh, healthy and delicious. All the staff were so friendly and accommodating. My husband and I got some much needed time together, but could also do our thing (yoga and Pilates for me, skeet shooting and archery for him!). We'll be back next year. ” — E & E, Littleton, MA, Inn #101 — 2008
No matter which week you come, other guests are invariably friendly and welcoming -- even when some people have been coming for many years and have long established friendships. Also, while your children are off being kids, you can easily remember your own childhood in the myriad activities. ” — B & K, Greensboro, NC, Lakeview — 2008
Now that our kids are a bit older, and have six years of Tyler Place under their belts, we have the afternoons to ourselves because they know the "[can't read this]" and have their own list of things they want to do. I can always count on the attention of the waterfront staff to ensure the kids' safety as they navigate these first independent steps. ” — L & I, Yonkers, NY, Farmhouse West — 2008
On Friday night, our 7-year old asked, can we stay another week?" We love watching the growth in our kids from year to year. Two years ago, our daughter had to be kayaked out to the water trampoline -- this year, she swam out by herself. We love the independence that Tyler Place fosters in kids -- they get a chance to grow and try new things and to do things on their own. ” — S & L, Chicago, IL, Inn #115-116 — 2008
Once again, a fabulous week! We love how all the excess is in hospitality, food and fun, and gets you feeling totally decadent with the great outdoors and fresh air. ” — W & C, Peachtree City, GA, Laura — 2008
Once again, a simply fabulous vacation. It just keeps getting better. Our kids always seem to blossom and grow during our week at Tyler Place. ” — A & M, Mountain Lake, NJ, Stork — 2008
Once again, another great week at Tyler Place! And again, each visit is different. Now our 8-year-old is out marauding in the afternoon with his mates, checking in at the appointed places and times. And our 11-year-old has had the chance to take up tennis and had his first lessons without the logistical challenges of home. Even when the weather does not cooperate, there is plenty of space on the sofa in front of the fire. And it's great to see Tyler family and staff each year and feel as though we are visiting with friends. Be well and have a great season! And just a word about the food -- amazing! Lunch and dinner are just fabulous (breakfast was great, too!). ” — D & D, Greensboro, NC, Teal — 2008

Once again, The Tyler Place and T.P. staff continue to amaze. The kids are having the best time even with the constant rain -- what a credit to the counselors who truly make the camp experience magical for the kids. Blueberry pie awesome! ” — M & P, Hopkins, MN, Inn #117-118 — 2008
Once again, we enjoyed our stay very much. The location is wonderful and the staff is outstanding. What makes the place is the other guests. Kudos on doing such a terrific job at attracting such a nice collection of interesting and friendly guests. ” — M & T, Scarsdale, NY, Carriage House IV — 2008
Once again, we started this week thinking we would take a break next year to try something else and once again, we are leaving with a reservation for next year. The whole concept just works so well for families and we'd miss seeing everyone next year. All of the Tyler family and most of the staff are so friendly and welcoming -- seems unusual for a family-run resort to be so incredibly well run. So kudos to all! ” — A & P, Marietta, GA, Davies — 2008
One of the (many!) things we love about The Tyler Place is the way the activities grow as our children have grown. For every age group they have activities that kids really love and that are certainly not the everyday things we do at home! Plus, as the kids get older, they are able to enjoy a little bit more independence. Example: releasing themselves from group, riding bikes more on their own. ” — M & W, Irvington, NY, Park — 2008
Our 11-year old son, upon our arrival, plopping down into an armchair, Isn't it great to be home, mom?!" The housekeeping was especially good this week and very appreciated. ” — J & M, Swarthmore, PA, Farmhouse West — 2008
Our best family vacation ever! The staff was so friendly -- best employees at any resort we have ever been to and we have been to a lot! ” — A & J, Washington, DC, Farmhouse West — 2008
Our California family camp was so important to us that we've been searching for three years to find a good east coast replacement. We found it here at Tyler Place. It's no surprise that families return year after year. We plan to. ” — J & S, Louisville, KY, Butternut — 2008
Our children really enjoyed themselves here. We were worried (since it's our first year) that it would take a while for our 7-year-old to get in the groove" since he is an extreme extrovert, but he enjoyed himself from the very first night. We like that it's all inclusive (meals & most activities), and that we can spend quality time with both our kids and each other. ” — D & C, Arlington, TX, Inn #104 — 2008
Our children were happy, energetic, full of adventure and had the best nights sleep each night! It just gets better and better. ?Ǭ? ” — D & D, Stamford, CT, Popcorn — 2008

Our son loved Senior Midgets and The Tyler Place so much that on day three, he said 'I want to stay here forever!' We were very impressed how quickly everyone worked to resolve any issues -- big or small -- without hesitation or complaint. The food was phenomenal! We couldn't believe how much quality, freshness and variety there was in buffet-style food! ” — D & E, Sudbury, MA, Elmwood East — 2008
Our son sums it up best. He thinks Ted Tyler is the luckiest man on earth, because
ot only does he own Tyler Place, but he gets to live there, too!" Looking forward to year number seven. ” — L & S, Summit, NJ, Kingfisher — 2008
Our stay at the Tyler Place exceeded our expectations again! Our Senior" enjoyed her freedom and her friends. Our Senior Midget was exhausted (yippee!!).

Thanks to the bar staff for putting up with our "fruity drink" challenge! ” — A & L, Norwalk, CT, Goose — 2008
Our stay here at The Tyler Place once again exceeded our expectations. It is a small miracle that two working parents with three children can leave their family vacation rested and rejuvenated. ” — A & P, Kensington, MD, Winnie's — 2008
Our stay this second time was even better than the first time last year as we knew the routine. Our children, ages 8 & 11, had even more fun in group and from the minute we drove up 'into paradise', they were off on their bikes to meet friends by the lake. We were impressed as even with the current economy, the meals and quality is unchanged and still superior! ” — C & B, Parkland, FL, Tyler Up — 2008
Our trip to Tyler Place each year is the official start of summer. It never fails to get everyone in a great mood for the upcoming months. We enjoy ourselves more each year. R & J, Honeoye Falls, NY, Inn #101, 6/21-6/28/08 ” — R & J, Honeoye Falls, NY, Inn #101 — 2008
Our vacation at Tyler Place was the funnest vacation ever. The camaraderie between the guests really makes T.P. unique and special. We could relax and enjoy ourselves knowing our children were well cared for by the energetic and attentive staff. This was our first visit. I was nervous that it wouldn't live up to my expectations. I shouldn't have worried Tyler Place surpassed our expectations by miles. ” — P & L, Downingtown, PA, Farmhouse South — 2008
Our whole family had a fantastic time! We were concerned that our three year old and 13 month old would have difficulty, but they both loved it. It was great for mom and dad, too. We were able to meet other people with similar interests, as well as enjoy lots of couple time and time on our own. Overall, an A+" family vacation! ” — S & C, Millington, NJ, Park — 2008

Counselors were positive and enthusiastic with our children and the dinner was delicious and graciously served as always. You all are pros! All week you were hospitable and embraced our family like you've known us for years. Even when we had a sick child and had to go to the doctor in St. Albans - that was a positive experience.

The Tyler Place has the perfect recipe for a family vacation - especially for us - a family returning to the U.S. from overseas: comfortable accommodations, activities for all ages, friendly and caring staff and incredible Vermont cooking. We were particularly pleased that this was truly all-inclusive". What a relief not to be charged left and right for what would be considered "extras" at many resorts (e.g., all-you-can-eat meals, use of watercraft, sports equipment, and an open beverage service at bonfire night). It rained most of our week, but we barely noticed, there were so many options and so much fun to be had. Thanks for the great welcome home to America! ” — P & K, Laconia, NH, Goldeneye — 2008

The Tyler Place might well be called (we believe that it should be) the perfect family vacation spot. All family members find what they want here. Kids eat with kids (and kid food). Adults eat with a collegial group of adults and the food is quite good. The facilities are adequate for twice the number and there is never a wait for a sail boat or a tennis court. The counselors to kids ratio is great and you attract a great group of counselors. The list of activities is breathtaking and parents get the right amount of time with their kids and for themselves.

The worst part about coming to The Tyler Place is leaving. Leaving is bearable only because we know we'll be back. Starting today, 51 weeks and counting. See you next year! ” — E & L, Florence, KY, Elmwood West — 2008
There are many great things about this place, but one of them is the sense of independence the kids have here.

It's paradise to us. A million thanks. ” — R & M, Fairfield, CT, Davies — 2008
This is a vegetarian's heaven! The food is fabulous! This is the first year I've primarily hung out and read novels rather than participating and I had a fabulous time doing practically nothing!

This is our fifth year and we plan to keep coming back many more times. Parents and children alike have such a great time. There are so many different activities to choose from or you can choose to do nothing, too. As soon as we leave, the kids are asking when are we coming back! ” — A & K, Poughkeepsie, NY, Carriage House I — 2008
This is our fifth year coming to Tyler Place and we were even more impressed this year with the friendliness and resourcefulness of the staff. The weather didn't cooperate and we had a number of days of steady rain. The kids counselors adapted extremely well and most of the activities went ahead anyhow (indoor swimming or lakefront activities) or were switched with the other evening activities. The adult activities were plentiful and varied enough that we were only modestly affected by the weather. ” — H & B, Evanston, IL, Willow — 2008
This is our fourth year and this year our 4 1/2-year-old literally ran from our cottage to group on Saturday evening -- it could have been a commercial for Tyler Place. ” — R & L, Arlington, VA, Gander — 2008
This is our second year, and it was just as wonderful this time around. Last year we stayed for 5 days. This year 7 and next year we want to expand to 10 days.

This is the perfect vacation for those with children under the 3rd and 4th grade. It's the perfect place for parents to de-stress and kids have the time of their lives. I was worried we would be vacationing with a lot of yuppies and was pleasantly surprised to find the other guests to be down-to-earth parents thoroughly enjoying The Tyler Place experience. The staff, food and activities were first rate. We will highly recommend T.P. to all of our friends and colleagues. ” — A & E, Haverhill, MA, Ferncroft D — 2008

This place is great! Summer camp for the whole family! I told my husband I wanted to live here. He said, Of course you do. You're not cooking, cleaning, working or watching our child nearly as much as you do at home! ” — B & J, Flemington, NJ, Quail — 2008
This was a vacation the entire family enjoyed! We were able to relax and enjoy each other as a couple, knowing that our boys were happy and entertained. Even with rainy weather, there was still plenty to do. We took a two-person canoe on the Missisquoi trip and we're still married. Ha! Ha! The boys shared a room, slept through the night and we had to wake them each morning -- no small feat! Thank you, thank you, and thank you for a phenomenal stay! ” — G & K, Redding, CT, Carriage House III — 2008
This was absolutely one of the best vacations we have had. The kids (daughter, 7 & son, 5) had a wonderful time.

We had intended this vacation to be a once in a lifetime sort of trip, but all five of us are looking forward to returning next year. Our seven-year-old has offered to contribute her entire year's allowance to help pay for it. Even though two of us were out of circulation for two days with a virus, it was still probably our best vacation ever. ” — D & A, Edmond, OK, Franklin House I — 2008

We have come for seven years and still find The Tyler Place a magical family vacation. ” — M & K, Bloomfield Hills, MI, Woodcrest — 2008
We have had a wonderful week as always. I would love to see some new activities, if possible. My kids have such a great feeling of independence and confidence here -- and a freedom they never have at home. My 11-year old daughter says, All my counselors are great -- every single one of them. Write a big smiley face for me". ” — S & E, Bethesda, MD, Tyler South — 2008
We have made lasting friendships and our children always relish something they would never have the opportunity to do elsewhere. ” — V & S, Flemington, NJ, Popcorn — 2008
We just can't give you up! What a thrill it was to share our favorite place in the world with our family -- fantastic place for our reunion since Tyler Place is our second home. ” — S & P, Armonk, NY, Davies — 2008
We just love The Tyler Place. We look forward to this week out of all of the other 51 weeks of the year. I was reminded again this year about how great the food is. For the whole week, the family ate food that tasted fresh with awesome vegetables and homemade salad dressing. Even the "junk" food tasted wholesome and real, not processed. On another note, this year we discussed the joy of the "back ways", the nature trails with the gorgeous views. What greater relaxation is there in life than lying on a hammock with views of Lake Champlain, with beautiful music accompanying the scene? It's truly a perfect tonic to our stressed out lives. ” — J & L, Swarthmore, PA, Laura — 2008
We just love Tyler Place. This was our second year and it was better than the last. Great food, great accommodations and great staff! We will be back and hopefully some day we will have our own children to bring as well! We were with our family of 12 and enjoyed every bit of it. ” — C & S, Lithia, FL, Bluebill — 2008
We look forward to our time here more and more each year. In fact, the Tyler Place has really begun to feel like our second home. Congratulations on creating such an amazing, unique and utterly joyous environment for our family and Tyler Place friends. Our 5-year old son said he looks forward to The Tyler place more than Christmas! ” — M & H, Wilmette, IL, Champlain — 2008
We look forward to the excellent food, great customer service and relaxing week every summer. The Tyler Place did not let us down again and we love the friends and memories we make every year here, plus a break from the kids is wonderful! ” — A & K, Gilbert, AZ, Champlain — 2008
We look forward to The Tyler Place every year. As the kids grow, the experience changes but it's still great. There is something for all ages. ” — S & S, West Hartford, CT, Woodduck — 2008
We love everything about Tyler Place. It is like camp for the whole family with all the trimmings. Kids love independence at age 10 and 13. Adults love staff focused on them -- what a treat. ” — R & J, Clarksville, OH, Partridge I — 2008
We love everything from the activities to the friends that we've made. Our kids LOVED going to camp every day and the counselors were fantastic. My daughter, (Sr. Midget), was completely in love with her counselor, Kaili. I've never seen her get so attached to someone and look so forward to seeing her. She is amazing. ” — M & D, Potomac, MD, Willow — 2008
We love it here and hope to come back. ” — T & J, New York, NY, Franklin House II — 2008

We love the beautiful grounds, the chance for privacy (nothing too crowded) and the food. Our children had a great time and learned new skills as well as making new friends. ” — J & N, Short Hills, NJ, Inn #3 — 2008
We love the easy, laid-back atmosphere you provide. I can be at my own pace, from reading all morning in the lounge, sipping coffee or a competitive tennis match. I like that there are activities on or away from the property. The staff is always accommodating. Thank you for five great years. ” — M & T, Tyngsboro, MA, Farmhouse Down — 2008
We love the kids' camp programs, the pools, the cocktail bar (with no kids), the breakfasts, the time to meet other guests. It's a great week for us. ” — B & R, Marblehead, MA, Inn #104 — 2008
We love the opportunity to rest, relax and do nothing if we choose. We like that there's no pressure to join activities and that activities are run by enthusiastic, skilled people when we do join in on one. We really, really appreciate that there are constant improvements being made to facilities and grounds, both major and minor (like plumbing in our cabin or lighting on the clubhouse.). ” — G & L, Irvington, NY, Gander — 2008
We love the total concept, the great friends we met. We love the food! Good kid time and great parent time. ” — R & K, Malvern, PA, Davies — 2008
We love The Tyler Place so much we came twice this year! Our 4-year old really came alive this week and is already asking if we can come back 'every year'! We've enjoyed meeting new friends, doing things we've never done before, relaxing and being part of a wonderful tradition. It's a slice of heaven. ” — C & S, Port Chester, NY, Cedar — 2008
We love The Tyler place. Our daughter is happy. We are happy. I'm sad to go back home. There is no way I can cook as well as the staff at The Tyler Place. ” — O & L, Junction City, KS, Goldeneye — 2008

The way the children's activities are scheduled is very thoughtful. It is a beautiful place with many fun and exciting things to do. ” — W & C, Washington, DC, Tyler Up — 2008
We loved it! We are happy to be back for many years to come. Thank you. ” — C & J, Norton, MA, Farmhouse South — 2008
We loved knowing that our children were in good hands, getting great meals and enjoying their days in a safe environment.

We were impressed that there was a little something for everyone: arts, games, sports, quiet reading, swimming, fine dining, dancing, etc. ” — N & S, Brooklin, Ontario, Elmwood East — 2008
We loved our week. You and the staff did a wonderful job working around the weather! ” — R & E, Wayland, MA, Carriage House II — 2008
We loved the balance of time together as a family and time alone as a couple. We came here with a 2-month old. People couldn't believe we could go on vacation with a 2-month old baby. We told them that The Tyler Place was the only place we would go with such a young baby. This was our second time here and yet again, The Tyler Place exceeded our expectations. Thanks for a great vacation. ” — D & L, Hyde Park, MD, Hickory — 2008

We can relax and enjoy ourselves with no worries, knowing our children are being so well cared for. ” — R & S, Webster, NY, Goose — 2008
We really liked the children's program. As a stay-at-home mom, I was nervous to leave my toddler, but the staff and our Parents Helper made the transition easy. By day #2, our son was waving goodbye to us and walking up to the Playhouse by himself! So we have fun, too! ” — S & A, Richmond, VA, Elmwood East — 2008

We really value our time at The Tyler Place. This is one of two weeks a year that our son is free of doctors, nurses and therapists. He is free to be a child. Thank you! I really enjoyed the lake breezes this season. And, we've reinvented ourselves: tennis and kayaking this time around. ” — J & L, Cherry Hill, NJ, Mrs. T's — 2008
We really worried about this year's stay. As you know, my partner was diagnosed with breast cancer in September and we had no idea what the year was going to bring. You were all so wonderful to us in every single way. The kitchen made wonderful, healthy meals for her; the other guests were amazingly sensitive and sweet and for me this was a welcome break from a tough year. We are so glad we came! Many thanks for doing what you do so well, year after year. ” — S & R, New York, NY, Teal — 2008
We start counting down the days to Tyler Place as soon as we drive off the site. It is by far the best vacation we have ever taken. The staff seem to love their jobs and genuinely enjoy serving the guests. The meals are fabulous. The kids activities are wonderful -- the girls are already asking to come back! And Tyler Place seems to anticipate everything one could need to have a carefree week. ” — C & S, Lithia, FL, Goldeneye — 2008
We still love it after all this time and this week went by faster than ever! ” — W & H, Sherborn, MA, Tyler South — 2008
We were not really sure what to expect from this week. What we got was 'completely relaxed'! We all got to play and try new things and make new friends. ” — M & M, Long Meadow, MA, Inn #102 — 2008
We were skeptical before we came here, thinking this place is too good to be true. But when we got here we were very pleasantly surprised. The Tyler Place is a perfect balance between family and adult time. Our boys had a great time and we felt comfortable leaving them with our Parent Helper and we got some much-needed adult time. We will be back!! ” — T & M, Lancaster, PA, Carriage House III — 2008
We were so pleased and surprised at the variety of activities, food and fun. Our 4-year old rode a pony, planted a flower, visited a tipi, learned a song, and made beautiful art projects. He had so much fun and was so proud of the new things he did. And we relaxed and took walks and ate dinner with adult conversation. Hmmm who got spoiled more? ” — J & A, Grays Lake, IL, Inn #103 — 2008
We were surprised by your beautiful (more than beautiful) and well maintained property, and good shape of the courts, Dock, pool, etc. Keep them like this! We enjoyed the kind of people who come here, well educated and in general, nice! Congratulations! We will be glad to recommend you to all our friends. ” — J & A, Col Alpes, Mexico, Teal — 2008
We wish we had known about Tyler Place when our daughter was 2! ” — C & C, Columbus, OH, Ferncroft D — 2008
We're amazed again this year by how organized and clean every aspect of camp was. The staff is always ready and waiting to assist you. Everyone is pleasant and seems happy to be doing their jobs. The resort taps into childhood magic for the adults, re-centers us and brings renewed joy in being with our kids! Thanks for another awesome year! ” — J & A, Bethesda , MD, Butterball — 2008

What a delightful environment to share with multiple generations coming from different locations! ” — R & M, Miami, FL, Inn #2 — 2008
What a vacation! And it really, truly is a vacation. Our kids had the time of their lives and we got to relax, exercise, play, eat amazing food and feel like we are kids away at camp, too. You guys really get it. Next year, I look forward to trying some of the scheduled events I didn't get to this year. *Please tell Chad thank you for The Six Secret Chairs". I spent a lot of time there reading! ” — M & M, Roslyn, NY, Canvasback — 2008
What a wonderful experience we had as first-time guests to The Tyler Place! The variety of activities offered was top notch. There is something for everyone. You provide that perfect balance of couple time and family time. The food is outstanding! I was sold on this place the first day. We all had a wonderful time and can't wait to come back again next year. Thank you for a wonderful family vacation! ” — A & L, Parker, CO, Ferncroft D — 2008
What a wonderful place! This is a dream vacation for our Sr. Midget. She enjoyed the variety of outdoor activities, all of her new friends and the great counselors. We enjoyed activities like canoeing, kayaking - that we hadn't done for such a long time. There just isn't any place like this! When I asked my 4-year old daughter if she had a good time here, she said, 'I'd like to live here. There are a lot of frogs.' ” — B & S, Richmond, VA, Partridge II — 2008
What is not to like?! The entire staff here works harder than humanly possible to make sure the entire family has a total blast! It's so great that the grown-ups can act like kids again and enjoy themselves and each other, apparent in the belly laughs, heard throughout the day regardless of whether you're at the dock, doing low ropes or just dining. The kids are so happy and well cared for and we really love and appreciate being able to come here! ” — M & M, Verona, WI, Farmhouse West — 2008
What makes T.P. work? Everything!!! A staff second to none, great kids programs, adult activities and a balance of family time and grown up time. ” — I & K, Duvall, WA, Farmhouse West — 2008

What we love most about The Tyler Place (besides the beautiful setting, the childcare and the wonderful staff) is that we can have whatever kind of vacation we need that year: active or restful, social or private. ” — M & A, Jersey City, NJ, Kingfisher — 2008
When we first discovered The Tyler Place in 1988, we came up with our then Jr. Midget. Never did we think that 20 years later we'd still be coming. The Jr. Midget is now an adult who comes for the fishing -- his older sister and her seven-year-old have been coming for the last five years. I see many Tyler summers ahead. The best quote of the week from my grandson, 'do you realize I haven't played with my Nintendo all week? ” — J & L, Troy, NY, Franklin House II — 2008
When you come to Tyler Place, you meet families you want to keep as friends for life. There's no better place to do things as a family, as a couple and on your own, all on the same trip. Tyler Place is everything you want it to be, and so much more. ” — M & A, Cincinnati, OH, Carriage House II — 2008
Where else can you take a vacation, have rain for 6 of 7 days and still have a great time? My daughter was crying when we left and is looking forward to staying through her Tyler graduation -- since she is only 5 1/2, it looks like we'll be back! ” — A & S, Ridgefield, CT, Stork — 2008
Who says you can't please all the people all the time?! ” — M & K, Mercer Island, WA, Partridge II — 2008
Wonderful exceeded already high expectations our children were in heaven. ” — D & J, Atlanta, GA, Stork — 2008

Wow! What a wonderful vacation! This highly anticipated trip was better than we even imagined. We felt right at home the first night. Our three children enjoyed their groups immediately. It was wonderful to see our children getting to participate in activities that they can't do at home -- wall climbing, pony rides, trampoline, fishing. What wonderful memories they will have! Their counselors were so warm and friendly. We loved the adult activities, but our favorite part was meeting and bonding with the other guests. Thanks for all the happy memories and see you next year! ” — S & S, Cornwall, Champlain — 2008
Year #2 - as awesome as year #1. Looking forward to year #3! ” — J & W, Sarasota, FL, Inn #117-118 — 2008

Yet another great family vacation. Even in bad weather -- fun, relaxation and good times are had. Wonderful food (especially chicken noodle soup -- can I have the recipe?!) See you next year (#5). ” — K & A, Houston, TX, Inn #5-6 — 2008
You really think of everything so that guests can just relax and enjoy their stay. We especially loved the unique chance for couple" time and the limits you set to make that possible. Thank you! ” — T & K, Alexandria, VA, Ferncroft B — 2008
