Pacific Palisades, CA "Finally a family vacation after which we do not immediately crave another to ease the stress of the first. Tyler Place -- where sleep-away camp meets Outward Bound -- rigor optional." Taconic, CT "We came here with high expectations and we have to say that Tyler Place far exceeded them. This is truly a special place. We enjoyed everything, the activities we did, as well as just taking walks around your beautiful resort and taking it easy in the lounge and sunporch. The meals were great. We enjoyed meeting all the families and making new friends and your fun and gracious staff made us feel very welcome." Mahwah, NJ "Staff was great!

But everyone that took care of them was so special and really attentive to all the kids. It was so comforting to me and made my vacation so relaxing and worry free!"

Also they get to try out new things." Anchorage, KY "When the week at Tyler Place begins, the other 51 weeks just melt away" Arlington, VA "Summer camp for the whole family was terrific.

Every member of the staff from bike shop, housecleaning, boat dock, dining room, counselors, pool staff to front desk is friendly, upbeat and the reason we come back!" Roswell, GA "Especially like that my children have independence and freedom to come and go while still being safe. They can choose all sorts of fun activities without Mom 'hovering' about, monitoring everything. Kids activities include everyone. No one feels alone, left out or misfit, that's true of the adults' activities too!" Walworth, NY "Our favorite part was probably dinner time, when we could sit and enjoy each other's company and conversation and enjoy a delicious meal without having to cut anyone else's food up, get someone's milk refill, etc. People actually brought drinks to us!" Georgetown, MA "We loved it and learned to slow down. We walked away from Tyler Place with a newfound appreciation of enjoying life without television and phones. The pace was perfect -- if we wanted to participate in an event, it was always fun and entertaining. If we wanted to go off on our own it was peaceful and romantic." Montclair, NJ "We had a truly wonderful time at the Tyler Place. Not only is it summer camp for the kids, it's summer camp for the adults too."

Also, the fact that kids have their own activities and then activities for the whole family makes for a uniquely enjoyable family vacation mood." Madison, NJ "A true family vacation. It's especially appreciated that you have enough of everything (Hobie Cats, kayaks, lounge chairs at the pool) so that there is no sense of competition to get a chance to use all the facility has to offer."

Always boats and kayaks available, nothing feels crowded. Every year we notice new things and upgrades to make the stay even better."

We loved the variety of activities that were available, and we loved having sitters so readily available." Watertown, MA "The Tyler Place is by far the perfect family retreat bar none. The programs, activities and accommodations result in 'family rejuvenation' that's unmatched." Highland, IN "Our adult children and grandchildren loved the fact that they all had a vacation. The grandkids loved camp and their parents had time to enjoy each other and Tyler Place." Delray Beach, FL "When we found The Tyler Place online, it sounded too good to be true, but we were thrilled to discover that it really is as wonderful as it was described. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy each other's company again, while knowing that our kids were well taken care of. Our Parents Helper was fantastic and both kids adored her. Our son had trouble adjusting to being 'left' in group for the first couple of days, but by Wednesday night he was asking to go to 'his' group. The counselors were so patient with him and really helped him have a fun experience." Vienna, VA "We like that you do everything for us. We can choose from a variety of activities and we don't have to worry about planning meals (which are delicious)" Patchogue, NY "This was our first year at The Tyler Place and we are all set to come back next year! Tyler Place provided an excellent balance of quality family time and time with peers. Our kids loved the activities and couldn't wait to return to 'group'." Denver, CO "We love being able to leave our children and know they'll have fun and be safe. The setting is magnificent, the assortment of activities lets us have our active days and lazy days. The no-pressure atmosphere is downright exhilarating." Lockport, IL "If there were an award for outstanding customer service for family resorts, Tyler Place would win it, hands down. Your absolute every wish is met with a smile and consideration. There is no better family vacation than The Tyler Place!" Reading, MA "Did we have fun? Absolutely!
