Loved it! I fell in love with the screened-in porch at Bluebill! ” — G & M, Nashua, NH, Week of May 27, 2011, Bluebill

Our kids look forward to coming every year and it is one of the highlights of their year. This was our 7th year.

We had a wonderful family weekend. Our kids loved it and so did we. We will be back again for sure! ” — N & K, Newton, MA, Week of May 27, 2011, Franklin House II

We came to The Tyler Place for our kids and the children's programs were fantastic. Our oldest daughter, who is 7, really blossomed.

After 15 years we can say that The Tyler Place is forever a treasured part of our family memories. ” — P & P, Hingham, MA, Week of May 27, 2011, Ferncroft B

The Tyler Place offers a true Vermont experience. The atmosphere is one of casual elegance. The staff and the food are superior. The Tylers are available. It's nice to be remembered by name year after year. Not only are we creating memories of a lifetime, but we are building friendships with other families with similar values. ” — G & R, Topsfield, MA, Week of May 27, 2011, Inn #4

They've learned the secret to providing a relaxing family vacation - parents are just as relaxed and happy as the kids when they have to go home. Our daughter (7 years old) actually complained after two family hours ‘when do I go back to camp’ - 2 hours in afternoon, out of the 4 hours, was already too much! ” — S & L, Audubon, NJ, Week of May 27, 2011, Ferncroft A

Great place to take the family. ” — J & T, Rosiclare, IL, Week of May 27, 2011, Ferncroft E

The Tyler Place is such a simple concept but very difficult to execute. Whatever you are doing, keep doing it! We had the best vacation ever! Our daughter grew fiercely independent and got to try so many new things. My husband and I got a much needed break and time to reconnect. We will be back! ” — C & S, Plainfield, IN, Week of May 30, 2011, Franklin House II

I loved our stay. The enthusiasm and thoughtfulness of your staff is remarkable, and the structure of family and adult time was wonderful, as was your selection of activities and programs. Andrea is amazing! A blissful and transformative massage experience. My kids loved it here and so did we (we loved the adult food, too!). I've never been so relaxed at the end of a vacation with my children. Thank you! This was a joyful and restorative experience for all of us. ” — B & V, Cerrito, CA, Week of May 30, 2011, Farmhouse UP

My whole family loves sports and Kevin and the kids are all on teams…(softball, baseball, soccer, basketball) and I have pretty much become a spectator. This week has made me realize how much I need to get back in the game. I loved competing and joining in group activities! Thanks… ” — K & K, Milford, CT, Week of May 30, 2011, Farmhouse South

This year's D.J. was awesome! Thank you for the WIFI! Trivia Night was terrific! Staff is remarkable (as always). ” — R & M, Nutley, NJ, Week of May 30, 2011, Lisa

Very well run resort. You can tell the owners run it with heart and they are there in person to greet guests and introduce you to new friends. Our child is exhaustedly happy after daily activities and asks to go to bed…which is not normal… ” — J & C, Falls Church, VA, Week of May 30, 2011, Tyler Up

When I asked my daughter, age 7, second time at T.P. if she wanted to return next year she exclaimed with a gasp, ‘Mommy that's not even a question! Why would you even ask me? Of course I want to come back!!’ That says it all for us! ” — B & J, Tampa, FL, Week of May 30, 2011, Elmwood West

The Tyler Place is where you go to celebrate the beauty of family. ” — J & C, Jefferson, NY, Week of May 30, 2011, Ferncroft C

We had an absolute blast. From Day 1, veterans came to greet and mingle with us, which made us feel right at home. After that we let our inner children out and it was fun, fun, FUN!! We loved the low ropes most of all. It really brought it all together for us. We knew about 24 couples by name after that event. Chad is an amazing event coordinator. My kids enjoyed themselves at group every day and didn't want to leave. Can't wait until next year. ” — A & K, Hamden, CT, Week of May 30, 2011, Teal

Outstanding staff and fantastic food. Well organized. Worry-free. Great activities for Jr. Midgets (our Sr. Toddler would have loved doing some of those special things, too). Great counselors.

Best. Place. On. Earth. Period. I will post on Facebook to be sure! ” — F & J, Providence, RI, Week of May 30, 2011, Sandpiper

Kids said they liked it better than Disney World!?!?!? While all staff/counselors were great, shout-outs go to Becky, Connor and Claudette (and to Jim for jumping in the quarry in 56 degree/windy weather and then riding bike home wet!) ” — C & A, New Orleans, LA, Week of May 27, 2011, Goose

The Tyler Place is amazing. There is truly no place like it and we plan on coming every year for many years to come! As I tell many people…I am going on vacation to the best place on earth and no it is not Disney World! ” — B & J, Flemington, NJ, Week of May 27, 2011, Ferncroft F

We are always so sad to leave The Tyler Place. It's the best family vacation ever! This is our 6th year and our 7-year old has really grown up here. He's had so many wonderful experiences and we have, too. It's always the perfect combination of activity and relaxation and we enjoy spending time with friends, old and new. We can't wait for next year! ” — W & S, Atlanta, GA, Week of May 27, 2011, Mallard

Relaxing vacation - where adults can have the freedom to try new activities knowing their children are also trying new activities in a safe environment. ” — E & K, Ormond Beach, FL, Week of May 27, 2011, Canvasback

Nine years in a row of a perfect family vacation! ” — V & J, Vienna, VA, Week of May 27, 2011, Bayview

The Tyler Place is the only place where everyone can have a vacation…kids and parents. ” — R & D, Flemington, NJ, Week of May 27, 2011, Stork

It's difficult to express how phenomenal this program/place is. Everyone is friendly, so helpful and interested in you. Patsy! So sweet, made my mom's week with her recognition (award). Our comfort level with the children's program was priceless and rare! Love you guys!
” — A & D, Austin, TX, Week of May 27, 2011, Hardack

Another fabulous year at The Tyler Place! Thank you! ” — J & E, Charlotte, NC, Week of June 4, 2011, Inn #4

Best family vacation on the planet for families with small children. My husband and I relaxed more this week than we have in the prior five vacations combined. The Tyler Place is simply the best! ” — C & S, Mission Viejo, CA, Week of June 4, 2011, Davies

Staff really thought of everything in planning a wonderful family vacation where parents also feel like they are back in camp themselves or have time to relax. We all loved it! ” — M & L, Pikesville, MD, Week of June 4, 2011, Farmhouse Down

The kids' program was fantastic; the food outstanding and the activities were fun and varied. The staff went above and beyond, especially when our kids got sick towards the end of the week.

We hope to come back for many years to come! ” — C & E, Alexandria, VA, Week of June 4, 2011, Carriage House I

Counselors for Jr. Midgets were AMAZING; so friendly; (Sr. Midgets, too). Everyone was SO friendly and welcoming; as if we were on vacation with friends we have known for a long time. ” — D & E, Bethesda, MD, Week of June 4, 2011, Bayview

As former staff and guests, a warm and cordial welcome back; like coming home in so many ways. Many changes that have been carefully thought out. And all for the better, as far as I could tell. Yet the basic concept and spirit of family fun and relaxation remains the same after fifty years. Nice to see a more geographically diverse group among guests and staff. ” — B & R, Cincinnati, OH, Week of June 4, 2011, Farmhouse South

We thoroughly enjoyed having the freedom to choose or not choose to participate in a number of activities - and having programming for children that makes adult events possible! Thank you for the fabulous and extensive kids' programs! Adult-only meals are truly a special treat. The facilities are exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The staff makes The Tyler Place a special and rewarding experience. Thank you from parents of boy/girl twins who needed a great vacation! ” — C & J, Pembroke, MA, Week of June 4, 2011, Franklin House I

It was great to have adult time again and we thoroughly enjoy all of the wonderful people we meet! ” — S & L, Lake Ozark, MO, Week of June 4, 2011, Cedar

Our second year at The Tyler Place was even better than our first.

The week was full of great laughs and memories for all age groups. ” — W & A, Rocklin, CA, Week of June 4, 2011, Inn #3

We live in the country on a farm. The kids don't have neighbors. They absolutely love having friends to go play with on their bikes. They love having their freedom here to come and go! I also love not having meals to worry about for kids or animals! ” — D & W, Hollidaysburg, PA, Week of June 4, 2011, Woodcrest

We love the place but don't want to say too much good stuff. What if for some reason we can't get in some time in the future!? Our kids love this place and we feel great bringing them here. Also, while the kids are having such a great time, the adults are doing everything they could want to from vigorous exercise to relaxing - so much fun is had by all! ” — D & M, Sarasota, FL, Week of June 4, 2011, Laura

The Ferncroft playground is awesome - our 4-year old loved it! Kid-free meals were so enjoyable! Lunch & breakfast food was awesome, especially cookies and ice cream. Zip line was a blast!

This was our sixth year here and we had just as much fun as in previous years. You've never let us down and we'll keep coming back for several more years to come. The kids had a great time and enjoyed their T.P. freedom with their friends. It's great to see them develop independence and responsibility. I got to play tennis and relax, which is a rare treat. Thanks for another great vacation. We'll see you next year! ” — J & K, Hockley, TX, Week of June 4, 2011, Lisa

We were worried the kids might not enjoy The Tyler Place as much as they got older. This year might have been our favorite because of the huge leap our kids took with independence. After 6 years, they know the place inside and out and loved being able to do things on their own. ” — T & K, Cody, WY, Week of June 4, 2011, Willow

Of all the vacation opportunities we have had as a family, The Tyler Place experience tops them all. Our family didn't want to leave! ” — J & S, Richmond, VA, Week of June 4, 2011, Pintail

I loved the improvements in the sheets, bedding and mattresses - really noticeable and SO appreciated! Your housekeeping staff is first rate and unfortunately, does not get enough good credit! ” — S & K, Akron, OH, Week of June 11, 2011, Gander

We love how The Tyler Place staff always goes the extra mile for the guests. Our 7-year old was determined to beat her previous fishing record of 10 fish. Thanks to Nature Dave, she not only beat that record by catching 15 fish, he also personally shopped for her first rod and equipment so she could continue her new hobby at home. ” — C & J, Laurel, MD, Week of June 11, 2011, Elmwood West

My husband's family loved returning after many visits in the 70's and 80's.

Everyone is so welcoming and helpful. ” — C & C , Willoughby Hills, OH, Week of June 11, 2011, Ferncroft F

Enjoyed food and beverages very much. Enjoyed outdoor nature-focused activities. It was great to be able to get out rain or shine. ” — E & R, Silver Spring, MD, Week of June 11, 2011, Inn #117-118

Move over Disneyland. The happiest place on earth is The Tyler Place. We just love the family-friendly atmosphere and comfortable ambience. It is refreshing and relaxing to enjoy all of the activities allowing both children and adults the freedom to come and go with (almost) no worries. Housekeeping & Maintenance staff were wonderful. We had need of linen changes in middle of night (sick children) and they were right there with fresh sheets. Hmmmm…maybe an extra set or two of sheets on hand in advance would help everyone - just in case. ” — D & J, Tucson, AZ, Week of June 11, 2011, Lisa

It was even better than we expected after reading all of the glowing reviews. The kids had fun, we had fun and then we all had fun together! ” — S & K, Fairfax, VA, Week of June 11, 2011, Inn #5-6

We are going home with tired kids and relaxed adults, which is not the norm for most vacations. ” — C & K, Charles, MO, Week of June 11, 2011, Sandpiper

We liked getting to know the other families at meals and events. We loved how quiet it is and how much fun our children had. It was great to be able to give our young 'city kids' some independence. ” — M & M, Washington, DC, Week of June 11, 2011, Partridge I

We missed coming last year and we're very happy to be back. Food was FABULOUS! ” — R & D, Libertyville, IL, Week of June 11, 2011, Mallard

We can't imagine a more perfect family vacation exists. The location is beautiful, the kids' programs are engaging and adults have their own programs, too (or we can rest!). It truly is an everybody-wins vacation. ” — J & J, Aurora, CO, Week of June 11, 2011, Redhead

Seventh summer here and there is still something new and exciting to keep it fresh. Your amazing staff always knows just what to do, for both kids and adults. ” — C & M, Madison, WI, Week of June 11, 2011, Bluebill

Staff interaction with guests - we enjoy and appreciate that the staff are not treated as 'just the help'. Wonderful vibe. The BEST family vacation we could ask for. ” — T & M, Dallas, TX, Week of June 11, 2011, Farmhouse West

Liked that there were different pillow options available (soft, thin, thick, firm) so we could pick what worked best. Loved separate meal times! Kids loved their activities and we loved ours. ” — J & D, Cramerton, NC, Week of June 11, 2011, Hardack

Once again, our expectations were exceeded. The staff, food, activities and overall atmosphere are exactly how we want to start our summer! Thank you! ” — P & M, Orinda, CA, Week of June 11, 2011, Park

Once again, everyone is so happy at The Tyler Place. Our boys have grown up with and into the activities and the friendships they have made here. We have the chance to just relax and know that everyone is busy and happy. Each year is the best (and this is #9 for us) and each year is different as our interests and needs change. ” — D & D, Washington, DC, Week of June 11, 2011, Canvasback

We very much enjoyed some adult time knowing that our children were being taken care of and having a good time. ” — E & R, Dyersburg, TN, Week of June 11, 2011, Franklin House II

After visiting The Tyler Place the past two years I have come to realize that it is the only truly relaxing vacation of the year for me. ” — S & J, Spruce Pine, NC, Week of June 11, 2011, McGlynn

Everything we took part in was excellent - while we mentioned a few of your staff, everyone we met was superb. Truly your young staff is outstanding. ” — J & M, Cohasset, MA, Week of June 11, 2011, Tyler Up

What a PERFECT week! Our kids had a blast while we had quality time as a couple. Loved trying new things and seeing the joy on my kids' faces. ” — M & A, Cedar Park, TX, Week of June 11, 2011, Franklin House I

We had a lovely stay at The Tyler Place. We made some new friends and so did our kids. Everybody in the family tried new things. We also found it was easy to find time to do nothing - something we never do in a house with three young boys. We will be back. ” — S & C, Kingsport, TN, Week of June 11, 2011, Partridge II

Staff could not be more helpful or friendly. Whether at the boat dock, the bike shop, dining room, pool or just walking on the paths, we were made to feel welcome and at ease. Anything seems possible at The Tyler Place! ” — A & M, Brooklyn, NY, Week of June 11, 2011, Chestnut

Very much enjoyed our stay – our son got sick/was out for 2.5 of the days so we didn't get to do as much as we wanted, but are excited to come back with more family! ” — D, Mendota Heights, MN, Week of June 11, 2011, Inn #1

We love The Tyler Place! The variety of activities for children was wonderful. Additionally, the adult activities kept us as busy as we wanted to be. The food was fantastic, the company was fun and the service was phenomenal. Thank you! ” — T & M, Ft. Leavenworth, KS, Week of June 11, 2011, Goose

I wouldn't even know where to begin. After 70+ years, you folks really have it down to a science. Everything from the kids’ groups to the excellent food and activities, to the wonderful staff (even housekeeping!) is top notch. I can't recall any disappointments at all and I was pleasantly surprised more often than I could have expected! ” — D & P, McDonald, PA, Week of June 11, 2011, Pintail

The staff are excellent. Very courteous and caring. Alex stood out. He was excellent with my son who had never been watched by anyone outside my family. ” — P & K, High Point, NC, Week of June 11, 2011, Inn #4

Fourth year was great as usual! My favorite week of the year. It is the only place mom gets a vacation! ” — S & J, New York, NY, Week of June 11, 2011, Quail

After 20 years at The Tyler Place, it is still fresh yet maintains its focus: ‘family fun, low-key yet engaging along the most beautiful lake'. You make it all look so effortless and allow parents to have an effortless family focused vacation that has time for kids, couples and oneself. ” — J & R, Brooklyn, NY, Week of June 18, 2011, Tyler Up

We felt very welcome as a new family. We loved the summer camp activities, the grown-up fun and the friendliness of the staff and guests. The kids had a blast. ” — J & B, New York, NY, Week of June 18, 2011, Teal

Instead of every 100 years, we get to visit Brigadoon every summer ” — M & S, Chicago, IL, Week of June 18, 2011, Farmhouse South

The Tyler Place is one-of-a-kind incredible hospitality; (can't believe you remember all our names!) and you have the formula down - continue to do what you do best - great food, great activities, great at creating an atmosphere where everyone feels at home, hire thoughtful, friendly, kind staff - we love it here! ” — E & L, Washington, DC, Week of June 18, 2011, Tyler North

This was our 11th year and our time at The Tyler Place was as magical as ever! ” — A & R, New York, NY, Week of June 18, 2011, Partridge I

We had a wonderful week, as always, and are watching our Tyler Place experience grow and change with our children. Thanks for another memorable visit. ” — B & L, Kensington, MD, Week of June 18, 2011, Winnie's

I especially loved the ability to 'customize' your vacation. We enjoyed doing family breakfast everyday but also enjoyed the adult lunch and dinner. ” — R & M, Boynton Beach, FL, Week of June 18, 2011, Woodcrest

Amazing week - AGAIN! Our son got sick this week and the staff was amazing! Thanks for everything! ” — B & K, Del Mar, CA, Week of June 18, 2011, Franklin House II

The Tyler Place is the best family resort we've ever experienced. All of us have made wonderful friends here - friends for the other 51 weeks a year, not just the week we're at Tyler Place. There is magic here. The T.P. is an oasis of serenity, fun, civility and adventure in a world that too often lacks all of those things. ” — R & M, Chevy Chase, MD, Week of June 18, 2011, Canvasback

Activity choices were excellent. Also plenty to do when there was 'no thing' to do! Food was great! Desserts were even better! The lake and all lake activities were AWESOME! Special commendation to Junior counselors: Michelle, Amy, Griffin, Tyler, Katie and Addison! Also to Dimitri on the boat dock! Kitchen staff and wait staff were great! ” — R & K, Fairfax, VA, Week of June 18, 2011, Inn #1

Another amazing week at The Tyler Place. It has to have been the fastest week of our lives. Our kids look forward to this week every year like Christmas. So happy to add another year of great T.P. memories to our family history and tradition. Thank you, Tylers. P.S. Fishing with Gil was awesome as always. Gil is an amazing guide. ” — S & C, Bethesda, MD, Week of June 18, 2011, Willow

At The Tyler Place I feel that my husband and I get to attend camp with our children. We are all nurtured and have an old time blast. Many thanks! ” — K & H, Baton Rouge, LA, Week of June 18, 2011, McGlynn

Can you slow down time? I want this to last longer. I hate to think I will wish my life away, but I will wait in anticipation for the next time we will stay at The Tyler Place. Absolutely phenomenal!! Love the staff, love the place, love the concept. Keep it up, guys. Have a great summer. See you next year. ” — J & K, Richmond, VA, Week of June 18, 2011, Laura

We can't say enough good things about The Tyler Place! We loved it. A great time for our two girls. They are very happy. Thank you, Tyler family for sharing this special place. ” — C & L, Berryville, VA, Week of June 18, 2011, Inn #3

On Friday, our 8-year old daughter said she wished we were staying for another week! ” — B & K, Acton, MA, Week of June 18, 2011, Lakeview

The concept is simple, yet brilliant and the execution nearly flawless. Thank you, Tyler family, staff and guests, for a very special week. ” — J & C, Washington, DC, Week of June 18, 2011, Pintail

Our 7-year old: 'Excellent'. Love the staff! Worse part of The Tyler Place – you have to go home. It's so great to see the kids grow year after year and conquer their fears and achieve new accomplishments. ” — E & P, South Orange, NJ, Week of June 18, 2011, Mallard

You have created the perfect, most beautiful family vacation! This is the BEST vacation we have ever had. Thank you, Tyler Place! ” — J & C, Winter Park, FL, Week of June 18, 2011, Butterball

We very much enjoyed our stay here. You have managed to exceed all of our expectations. When I found your site on the Internet I thought to myself: 'sounds too good to be true', but it was better. We will be back, but perhaps with more people. ” — J & S, Nazareth, PA, Week of June 18, 2011, Inn #102

Our family loved The Tyler Place! Our 4-year old son said that he wants to stay here for a million days. We enjoyed the activities, alone time, the food, the staff and all the great guests. ” — A & J, Westchester, OH, Week of June 18, 2011, Mrs. T's

Relaxing, reconnecting, rewinding, rejuvenating! The Tyler Place rocks!! ” — C & A, Davidson, MD, Week of June 18, 2011, Woodduck

Year #7 and each year has been our son's 'best year ever'! It's hard to say what exactly makes it work but it is the sum of all its parts. Every year I find something new to do - and I'm not done yet. ” — K & A, Houston, TX, Week of June 18, 2011, Inn #5-8

This is still my favorite vacation ever. Staff and Tyler family wonderful as ever. We're counting the weeks until next year! ” — D & D, Greensboro, NC, Week of June 18, 2011, Kingfisher

The Tyler Place is the greatest start to our summers! The whole family gets a vacation - especially moms. ” — J & L, Arlington, VA, Week of June 18, 2011, Farmhouse Up

The jewel is the childcare and activities: they return tired, but having had tremendous fun. This, of course, makes all the parenting activities relaxing and enjoyable. And finally, the general friendliness of guests and staff… ” — R & T, Salt Lake City, UT, Week of June 18, 2011, Davies

The ability to make your own picture folder was terrific! Children's programs were great (as always). Good rainy day alternate activities (indoor tennis at St. Albans was nice). ” — W & J, Powhatan, VA, Week of June 18, 2011, Inn #101

Many vacations are simply fun…however, The Tyler Place is both relaxing and fun. A critical component of an excellent vacation is the relaxing element. The Tyler Place has the relaxing part perfected.
” — C & S, Jasper, IN, Week of June 18, 2011, Inn #104

One week at The Tyler Place just feels like two. By turning off all of the devices and really just focusing on relaxing, having fun and being together, we always notice this and it's the only place it happens for us. It has also been consistently great in varying circumstances rain or shine - infants or toddlers, pregnant or not! Many thanks to you all for this treasured vacation. See you next year! ” — K & K, Newtown, CT, Week of June 25, 2011, Popcorn

This was our first year at The Tyler Place so we weren't sure what to expect but after only being there an hour we knew we wouldn't want to leave! ” — M & B, Raleigh, NC, Week of June 4, 2011, Butterball

I was a guest at The Tyler Place as a child from the age of 4 through 16 and had such fond memories of my time there. It was with great anticipation that I returned 20 years later with my husband and two young girls. Would it be the same? I'm thrilled to say that it was as fun, relaxing and inviting as I remembered. Although there have been many updates to the grounds and facilities, the warm energetic staff and Tyler family have kept the atmosphere as parent-and-child friendly as ever. See you next year and thanks for a great week! ” — P & E, Cranford, NJ, Week of June 4, 2011, Park

Activities were good; food was amazing; atmosphere was positive and fun; staff exceptionally professional; loved having bikes; overall everyone in our family had a great time. ” — E & S, New Haven, VT, Week of July 2, 2011, Whistler

Once again, it felt like a true vacation! We reconnected with 'old' friends, relaxed and had fun all the while knowing our boys were having a blast! ” — M & J, Boulder, CO, Week of June 25, 2011, Park

On Wednesday of our stay, our middle child announced that he had a nightmare that consisted of having to leave The Tyler Place. Once again, a perfect vacation all around. The Tyler Place is food for our family soul and the soul of all the individuals within our family. ” — D & A, Hampden, ME, Week of June 25, 2011, Franklin House I

We always enjoy our stay here. It's a wonderful place for a family reunion. The staff is super. The food is wonderful and the Inn with the glass porch is a wonderful spot regardless of the weather. ” — T & J, Claremont, CA, Week of June 25, 2011, Inn #2

We feel like kids again the second we get our bikes! It's our favorite and the kids’ favorite vacation of the year. ” — C & L, Richmond, MA, Week of June 25, 2011, Chestnut

Clean and pleasant surroundings. Friendly, helpful and polite staff. Excellent service. Extremely well kept grounds and a variety of outdoor activities including water sports. Excellent children's programs. Good fishing. ” — E & S, Hong Kong, Week of June 25, 2011, Inn #1

We loved Quail & Partridge for the ten of us. Cocktails in the Adirondack chairs and late evenings on Partridge's porch as well. ” — R & M, Meguon, WI, Week of June 25, 2011, Quail

We loved that the kids were busy and happy all day - never any complaints. What a fantastic opportunity for our kids to experience a kind of freedom that is completely unattainable in their normal (city) life. It was so relaxing for me to know they were happy and well cared for so I could enjoy time to myself. ” — N & C, Washington, DC, Week of June 25, 2011, Goose

To be at camp where your toddler is crying and banging his fist on the door of the Playhouse because we are early and cannot enter is priceless! ” — G & V, Houston, TX, Week of June 25, 2011, McGlynn

Our children enjoyed all of the activities - with their age groups and during family time. When the weather is warm we can't get enough of the water activities! Everyone enjoyed the wonderful food. ” — D & M, Oakton, VA, Week of June 25, 2011, Woodcrest

We loved the relaxed atmosphere, all the waterfront activities and the kids' activities. There is no way we would ever have the stamina or creativity to keep our kids busy having so much fun. Loved their accomplishments (caught a fish) and the counselors' encouragement for them to try new activities. The #1 reason we will be back is the one-on-one counselor for our son. It's the only way we could do this and it worked out fantastically! We came this week (our first trip to T.P.) thinking we would never use a babysitter and even anxious about our son's arrangement with a one-on-one. Sabina connected so quickly and so well with our son (and us) - we were so comfortable having him with her, it enabled us to relax, enjoy our vacation and even stay out late several nights!! ” — S & S, Arlington, VA, Week of June 25, 2011, Hickory

The kids feel independent, engaged and happy. The adults feel relaxed, engaged or happily disengaged, happy and well fed. A perfect combination. Kids are fed, too, but not hard to please. The 1:1 counselor has changed our lives for the better. ” — J & S, Maplewood, NJ, Week of June 25, 2011, Canvasback

As an extended family, our children are spread out from California - Colorado to New York - and The Tyler Place provided 'a home away from home' where the adults can pursue their individual interests, learn new pursuits, come together for 'adult time meals' and share their joys. The children come together after their morning activities and lunch with their peers or with their family to share quiet time back at their cabin - fishing, arts & crafts, swimming and a host of other activities. As grandparents our joy is seeing the excitement on their faces and memories they are making. ” — L & M, Rochester, NY, Week of June 25, 2011, Cedar

My 13-year old son had the time of his life. Outstanding activities, counselors and new friends. Oh, and he loved the food, too. ” — S & S, Los Altos, CA, Week of June 25, 2011, Mrs. T's

The Tyler Place is the most perfect and well-thought out family vacation. They have an excellent combination of activities and down time and the staff and Tyler family interact with the guests in a very friendly and helpful manner without pretense. ” — J & A, Berkeley, CA, Week of June 25, 2011, Farmhouse Down

Having just finished up our second year, I can confidently say that our stays here just get better and better - between the coveted adult time, the amazing children's programs and the tantalizing meals. We always leave wishing we had just one more day. ” — S & J, Charlotte, NC, Week of June 25, 2011, Woodduck

The Tyler Place is absolutely the best family vacation destination for families of all ages and all backgrounds. The parents rest and revitalize, while the kids are surrounded with making new friends and counselors that excite and make them smile every day while on vacation and want to come back every year! The kids meet and maintain friends from all across the U.S. and stay in touch all year long! ” — E & D, Devon, PA, Week of June 25, 2011, Winnie's

Having been to The Tyler Place as a child when I was 6, 7, and 8 years old (in ''79-'81), I think I've always measured vacations against The Tyler Place experience! I realize this now returning as an adult. I LOVED it as a kid and remember being disappointed in our family vacations after being here. Today, even without children, it's been a wonderful week - excellent adult choices - I had trouble choosing! And it gave us an opportunity to reconnect with family in a comfortable, first-class environment. My niece and nephew have loved it. I'd be happy to tell people about T.P. (and I have already) and will continue to do so. ” — J & A, New York, NY, Week of June 25, 2011, Ferncroft C

We love The Tyler Place! We look forward to it from the moment we leave every year and it never fails to live up to our expectations. The staff is amazing and every wish seems to be anticipated and fulfilled. We look forward to coming back for many years. ” — C & S, Harvard, MA, Week of June 25, 2011, Lakeview

Heaven on earth for our family of four! Healthy, happy and fulfilling! ” — D & L, Houston, TX, Week of June 25, 2011, Sandpiper

Our family came back after 25 years with the grandchildren. We have had a wonderful time. ” — P & A, Week of June 25, 2011, Ferncroft E

It is difficult to get into the mind of a 17-month old baby. Our son signs very well and has given you a great review. He keeps signing, 'I like'. He likes the pool, the bikes and the lawn at the Inn. He has signed 'I like' constantly since arriving. We spend 51 weeks every year counting the weeks until we get to come back. Then we spend all week here bemoaning how quickly the days go by. This is a family tradition that cannot be beat…also, we're really seeing the super growth in our children that comes from our annual Tyler Place trips. Green grass. Great food. Climbing a tree. Riding a bike. Swimming in a lake. Learning to sail or play tennis. This is the A+++ in old-fashioned family fun, quality time vacations. ” — J & L, Cherry Hill, NJ, Week of June 25, 2011, Willow

This is our 4th year here and it was just as great as ever. This is truly the only family vacation we have been on where mom gets a vacation, too! ” — D & L, Wilmington, DE, Week of June 25, 2011, Ferncroft F

My daughter always asks to return to The Tyler Place over a week's stay at the beach…she loves it here. And as parents, we always look forward to a relaxing week at the T.P., seeing those we know from last year and meeting new friends. The Tylers and their entire staff are so friendly and accommodating. ” — S & C, West Windsor, NJ, Week of June 25, 2011, Carriage House III

The Tyler Place concept is truly unique and depends on a certain precision to actually pull it off. Bringing hundreds of strangers together deep in Vermont and then helping every single family choreograph a full, active and fun vacation with great food has got to be extremely challenging. And yet, essentially, everything works perfectly, or at least seems to - and it works naturally. The kids can't wait to get to their group, parents can't wait to eat lunch and dinner, the entire staff is gracious and helpful, no one (staff or guests) are snobbish and basically everyone here raves about the experience. ” — S & A, Buckley, WA, Week of June 25, 2011, Inn #104

After five family vacations, The Tyler Place has not lost one ounce of magic - our summer get-away, much anticipated by all family members - still sparkles with promise and fulfillment for everyone.

” — S & C, Richmond, MA, Week of June 25, 2011, Carriage House II

We had a wonderful family vacation! The staff, accommodations and activities were all great and exceeded our expectations. ” — J & D, Arlington, VA, Week of June 25, 2011, Teal

We love how happy each family member is here at The Tyler Place. The kids love their T.P. friends and counselors. The staff is terrific. They really make every effort to keep the guests and children happy. Thank you for our 7th great year!! ” — T & K, Far Hills, NJ, Week of June 25, 2011, Tyler South

The Tyler Place - my slice of heaven once a year. When we have discussed an additional family vacation, my son says, 'As long as you do not take T.P. away from me. Anything else MAYBE would be fine - if you were a kid, mom, you would understand why you cannot take T.P. away from me.' I have already started my 51-week countdown to T.P. Minnow Race was fun; thanks for having it. ” — T & C, Ringoes, NJ, Week of June 25, 2011, Tyler Up

We love the physical plant, staff, activities and now count some fellow guests as close friends. Most importantly, our kids look forward to going to group every day. ” — B & C, Manhattan Beach, CA, Week of July 2, 2011, Tyler Up

It's hard to say anything new after 12 years. However, we continue to have an amazing time at an amazing place. We look forward to our week here every year and we have just as much fun as we did our first year here. ” — J & H, Manlius, NY, Week of July 2, 2011, Mallard

We enjoy the fact that parents and children alike get a vacation. There is still 'family time' with wonderful activities, but the kids are often more ready to get back to their group than we were for them to leave 'family time'. ” — P & P, Nashville, TN, Week of July 2, 2011, Inn #103

Desserts were excellent. Breakfasts and lunches were great! Loved the soups! We loved the activities for our kids. They had a great time. Our 4-year old always wanted to be with her friends for breakfast, not mom and dad! We loved the location of Bayview; beautiful view and quick trip to everything. The activities offered for all ages are phenomenal. We enjoyed biking around all week. ” — B & J, Reynoldsburg, OH, Week of June 25, 2011, Bayview

We have thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and we hope to be back soon! I think you have thought of everything that a busy family needs and wants in their vacation…a perfect balance of family time and adult time!! Thank you! ” — M & D, Mansfield, MA, Week of July 2, 2011, Carriage House II

Once again, six kids and six adults (now 5 to 68 years old) enjoyed a wonderful week. Our grandchildren unanimously declare this T.P. vacation the best week of the year. We love watching them and our grown kids relax in this beautiful place. Thanks for the genuine hospitality, the focus on the entire family and for a job well done! Don't change - (except maybe add that platform tennis court I'm pushing for). ” — C & B, Salisbury, MD, Week of July 2, 2011, Mrs. T's

Every person in our family thinks it is our best week of the year. ” — C & K, , Week of July 2, 2011, Kingfisher

Program descriptions and past itineraries do not begin to define the culture of The Tyler Place. We had a great time and look forward to returning next year. ” — R & J, Loris, SC, Week of July 2, 2011, Ferncroft F

The Tyler Place = Heaven on earth. I appreciate that our feedback was taken on separating the Death Slide and diving board! ” — G & K, West Orange, NJ, Week of July 2, 2011, Bayview

The staff - each and every staff member and Tyler family member are resolutely positive. Everyone tries to solve problems rather than say, 'it can't be done'. Kudos to the laundromat couple, too - lovely people. Attention to detail: over the course of the week, you tend to notice the thought that has gone into small things, whether it is food or beverage or details of the adult activities. Little things mean a lot! ” — R & K, Ottawa, Ontario, Week of July 2, 2011, Inn #102

This has been the best vacation EVER!! One of the friendliest, most welcoming places I have ever been to. Something for everyone. I loved that my daughter and granddaughter both had a fun time. ” — M, Modesto, CA, Week of July 2, 2011, Tyler South

My wife and I have no kids, but never felt like we didn't have something to do. The Tyler Place has something for everyone. We had a great time. ” — M & J, Bloomfield, NY, Week of July 2, 2011, Carriage House I

Keep up the good work! We REALLY liked the meals without the children - breakfast with them was just fine! We had a GREAT time. Thank you so much!!! ” — W & J, Victor, NY, Week of July 2, 2011, Inn #4

Loved canoeing with Dave. We can listen to his stories all day! As always, we had a great week and look forward to our T.P. visit again next year! ” — J & K, Belmont, MA, Week of July 2, 2011, Carriage House III

The Tyler Place gives you the chance to peek in on your kids' summer camp experience - and for them to see their parents have fun the way kids do. What better family vacation could there be?! ” — S & A, Durham, NC, Week of July 2, 2011, Farmhouse West

This was the BEST family vacation we've ever had. We came with grandparents, brother/sister with no kids, and have three children of our own (2.5, 10, 12) and we ALL had something wonderful to do every day. We'll be back! ” — M & M, Sudbury, MA, Week of July 2, 2011, Franklin House II

This is our 3rd year with plans to come back again next year. We've met some very nice friends over these years and even stay in touch, with plans to meet again the same week next year. The staff is great, caring and always trying to make sure everyone has a wonderful time. It's hard not to - the beautiful grounds and plentiful activities are great, as are the counselors that watch after and entertain our children. ” — W & J, Newton, NJ, Week of July 2, 2011, Sandpiper

The Tyler Place was fantastic for our family reunion. Warm, friendly and skilled Tyler leadership is obvious throughout all venues, activities, facilities and staff. ” — T & I, Winchester, MA, Week of July 2, 2011, Inn #1

My kids are always happy. Counselors are enthusiastic, fun and responsible. A relaxing and enjoyable time for the whole family. I wish I knew about The Tyler Place when I was a kid. ” — S & A, Wellesley, MA, Week of July 2, 2011, Champlain

Loved the convenient check-in after a day of travel. Meals were fantastic. Loved the adult R & R and kids loved the children's programs! Kudos to a job well done! Five stars for sure. ” — T & C, Myerstown, PA, Week of July 2, 2011, Inn #104

This place is Heaven. Come get a preview before you die… ” — P & S, Brentwood, TN, Week of July 2, 2011, Laura

It was great to have the indoor tennis court option. ” — L & M, Raleigh, NC, Week of July 2, 2011, Farmhouse South

Another wonderful week! I'd like to spotlight housekeeping - after an off-the-cuff comment in a casual conversation at the Inn, there was a new clear shower curtain installed before we even made it back to the accommodation! ” — R & M, Oakville, Ontario, Week of July 2, 2011, Banqueet

In my next life, I want to come back as Ted Tyler! Thank you for another amazing week. ” — F & A, New York, NY, Week of July 2, 2011, Winnie's

Most relaxing vacation we've had since we had kids. Feels like 'summer camp for families'! Your staff is definitely your best asset. ” — L & E, Dayton, OH, Week of July 2, 2011, Lakeview

Best vacation for mom ever. Eight hours of guilt-free childcare and lots of family time, too! Love how it seems fresh to us every week even though it's the staff's sixth time doing the same thing. Love the good, old-fashioned fun, time to explore our inner kid! Many thanks to Meredith for giving us a swimming lesson after being rained out. We requested one and didn't expect it to happen. She was so great with our kids and went out of her way to accommodate us - much appreciated! ” — K & T, Mooresville, NC, Week of July 2, 2011, McGlynn

Fabulous family vacation. My kids (even the shy one) loved going to group. The counselors are so warm and welcoming. And my husband and I loved being able to have some time to ourselves. ” — T & J, New York, NY, Week of July 2, 2011, Inn #5-6

The Tyler Place makes us not only feel like extra-special, valued guests, but also like family, too. When our child fell ill, so many different staff members helped in so many different ways - from the Front Desk organizing a doctor appointment, to the kids’ chef sending over ginger ale and chicken soup, to the Sr. Midget counselors sending toys and books to our room. It was like being with extended family at a hotel. The other thing we like is how kids get to be kids here - they are able to be independent in a safe environment, exploring on their own and being themselves. ” — H & N, Pennsville, NJ, Week of July 2, 2011, Inn #3

The counselors are terrific. I've never been to a better run kids' program. I also really appreciate the laid back style of the inn, activities and adult programs. ” — Z & A, Severna Park, MD, Week of July 2, 2011, Willow

We had another great week at our favorite family vacation spot. Food, activities, time with friends, and time with family make The Tyler Place such a special and amazing retreat from daily life. My only complaint is that after I leave I have to take over cooking, cleaning and entertainment duties for myself again. ” — S & M, Phoenix, AZ, Week of June 4, 2011, Carriage House II

As second time guests and parents of a now toddler instead of 8-month old (like last year) we were mentally in a much better place to take advantage of the numerous options for socializing with other guests. We got to know people we met last year better. It was easier for us to meet new people this year. The dynamic of the week was very friendly. ” — C & H, Westford, MA, Week of July 9, 2011, Quail

We have not relaxed this much since our kids were born. Knowing they were safe and happy allowed us to enjoy ourselves thoroughly. ” — D & C, Hamilton, Ontario, Week of July 9, 2011, Sandpiper

Bluebill is heavenly! I love to sit on the screened-in porch and listen to the waves lap against the shore. There is usually a refreshing breeze. Tyler Place does it right! I wish we had discovered it when our daughter was younger! ” — G & M, Nashua, NH, Week of July 9, 2011, Bluebill

My kids weren't sure about coming initially and my son's first remark was, ‘Where's the TV?’ However, after the first group got together they never asked again. Thanks for providing an awesome adventurous family vacation! ” — K, Largo, FL, Week of July 9, 2011, Teal

I can't say it enough: 21 child-free meals! ” — R & E, Arlington, VA, Week of July 9, 2011, Farmhouse Up

We have four children with four different types of interest and they are all leaving happy again. ” — J & M, Ivoryton, CT, Week of July 9, 2011, Butternut

‘Tyler Place ROCKS!’ – Blake - age 7; Zachary - age 4. ” — C & E, Palo Alto, CA, Week of July 9, 2011, Farmhouse West

Four years in and we love it as much as ever! Great to see new things and old favorites. Physical upkeep and improvements are definitely apparent and appreciated. ” — J & A, Franklin, MA, Week of July 9, 2011, Inn #104

We loved having our family all in the same building and yet each having privacy. The food, activities and facilities exceeded our expectations and we enjoyed a variety of activities, some of which we had never done before. ” — K & M, Wellesley, MA, Week of July 9, 2011, Ferncroft B

We love the variety of structured activities available for young children, coupled with the friendliness and approachability of the camp counselors. Our son had a great time and enjoyed many activities he had never participated in before. ” — J & J, Cockeysville, MD, Week of July 9, 2011, Chestnut

It was so telling that half way through the week we had no idea what day it was - all because we were so relaxed and having an endless amount of fun. The Tyler Place is definitely worth the long trip from CA. We can't wait to come back! ” — R & S, Carlsbad, CA, Week of July 9, 2011, Davies

This was year #6 for us and we'll definitely be back next year. It's the best week of our year with a magical blend of sporty and relaxing activities, family time and couple time. We love the way The Tyler Place staff is a blend of local Vermonters with others from around the world. It's a wonderful group of people who make this week so special. ” — P & J, Newton, MA, Week of July 9, 2011, Inn #102

After coming to The Tyler Place for the last 11 years it is the major summer calendar block. With children getting older and all in teen group this year I fear that we only have a few years left. But the kids want to come back. We'll be counting down the weeks until next year. Only 51 weeks ‘til Tyler Place. ” — J & E, Winchester, MA, Week of July 9, 2011, Willow

This was the first trip in years that I didn't have to worry about where the kids were or what they were into. ” — R & M, South Riding, VA, Week of July 9, 2011, Ferncroft E

You can do as little or as much as you like and at the end of the day everyone is happy. Camp food much better than I remembered. Guests and staff are friendly so it makes it like a mini-village where everyone knows your name. So great to see same people every year. ” — F & K, Red Hook, NY, Week of July 9, 2011, Carriage House III

Chris (Maintenance) was absolutely great. He repaired our shower and was conscious of our son's nap schedule. He also responded quickly to our son’s locking himself in our car. ” — D & K, Gaithersburg, MD, Week of July 9, 2011, Elmwood East

The Tyler Place is a 'Home Away From Home'. My son loved final night of tug of war and Capture the Flag. ” — N & T, St. Louis, MO, Week of July 9, 2011, Mrs. T's

Our kids were happy and having fun and so were we…guilt-free!! It was just what we all needed! We will be back! Loved all the special touches and attention to detail. Staff is obviously treated well here and that is passed along to guests. Great set up! ” — N & J, Merrimack, NH, Week of July 9, 2011, Elmwood West

Our whole family loves this vacation, which is why we keep coming back. The Tylers really have it all figured out. It always feels like the Tyler family is part of our week, too. It feels like we're their guests and not just customers. ” — M & A, Jersey City, NJ, Week of July 9, 2011, Stork

All we can say is this place exceeded all expectations. This is the perfect place for kids and parents to have their own time and their time together to enjoy the activities or just relax. Everyone is SO friendly - both staff and guests. Having the photographers - candid and portrait - is a brilliant idea - allows parents to relax and also get great shots of their kids having fun. ” — K & S, Huntington, NY, Week of July 9, 2011, Inn #103

This was our 2nd year and everything was excellent (as expected!). Every staff member we spent time with was courteous, fun and full of energy. A few staff members deserve special mention for exemplary behavior with the kids and guests - Joel, Rem, Tim and the rest of the boat dock crew were great! Our boys also thoroughly enjoyed their counselors: Dan & Dave (Seniors) and Brad (Juniors) were exceptional! Kyle & Calvin were also great sitters. ” — T & K, Elmhurst, IL, Week of July 9, 2011, Inn #101

The Tyler Place is a GIFT!!! There is nothing like it on the planet - from the staff to the activities to the food to the people to the facilities to the fun and love - it is the BEST vacation on the planet! Please open up something in the Caribbean so we can go away in the winter!! ” — M & A, New York, NY, Week of July 9, 2011, Park

We will post our comments on Facebook, but we had a wonderful week. The food was fantastic, the activities for adults were great and the kids loved their group programs. We especially liked the addition of Trivia Night. Please include it again next year. Also staff was wonderful as always! ” — M & A, Centerville, VA, Week of July 9, 2011, Inn #3

The Tyler Place is an amazing family vacation. It simply is 'as good as it gets'. When the week is over, all had a great time, met lots of new friends and met up with the old friends. The food was great! We had great weather and are already counting down to next year. No TV, computer, e-mail or driving for 7 wonderful days! ” — R & K, Bellair Bluffs, FL, Week of July 9, 2011, Butterball

A wonderful week for all of us. On New Year's Eve, when we asked our 8-year old son what was his favorite thing he did all year - 'Definitely The Tyler Place'. ” — J & K, Ridgewood, NJ, Week of July 9, 2011, Inn #115-116

A most enjoyable stay because: variety of activities (including hammock time); happy children everywhere; the lovely setting; interesting adults; friendly and capable staff. Thanks for it all! ” — A, Alexandria, LA, Week of July 9, 2011, Inn #2

What's not to love? Friendly staff, great entertainment. If you're not having fun, something's wrong with you. There's so much to do and so many opportunities to make great friendships! And the kids don't want to leave! ” — S & C, Batavia, IL, Week of July 9, 2011, Woodcrest

What a fantastic break (but with the kids!). Everyone enjoyed their stay. The staff for both kids and adults is wonderful. Everyone is so sweet. And Lachlan has started a love of tennis for our 5-year old. Thank you! ” — J & P, New York, NY, Week of July 9, 2011, Hardack

As first time guests, we were a bit skeptical about the ‘magic’ of this place, but by day #2 we could not think of a more perfect experience to escape to for a week ourselves! Our 5-year old asked if we could just 'live here' and my husband and I wonder just how we will be able to function (at home) next week without cooked meals, planned activities and a gorgeous and serene lake being just a stone throw away! ” — J & T, Glenville, NY, Week of July 9, 2011, Tyler Up

Great balance of time for adult and child activities. Excellent staff (courteous, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful). Excellent food, cocktails and happy hour. Great events in the evenings. ” — M & G, Highland Park, IL, Week of July 9, 2011, Ferncroft C

The grounds, food and staff were great. The Tyler Place provided our 8 and 10-year old daughters an opportunity to grow their independence that could not have happened at home. A special place for a unique time in their lives. ” — R & C, Andover, MA, Week of July 9, 2011, Franklin House I

We loved the activities for our kids. They had a great time! Our 4-year old always wanted to be with her friends for breakfast - not mom and dad. We loved the location of Bayview; beautiful view and quick trip to everything. The activities offered for all ages are phenomenal. We enjoyed biking around all week. ” — B & J, Reynoldsburg, OH, Week of June 25, 2011, Bayview

We look forward to The Tyler Place all year long. When my 11-year old daughter can't fall asleep she thinks about the T.P. to calm herself down. ” — C & A, Washington, DC, Week of June 18, 2011, Tyler South

We have not relaxed this much since our kids were born. Knowing they were safe and happy allowed us to enjoy ourselves thoroughly.

” — D & C, Hamilton, Ontario, Week of July 9, 2011, Sandpiper

Both my 8-year olds got up on water-skis this year - what a thrill! Special thanks to Dimitri for his patience - he jumped in the water to help steady them. He is a great teacher! Also, Dave and Dan were such wonderful counselors. We all had a fantastic time and made lots of memories. ” — D & B, Brooklyn, NY, Week of July 9, 2011, Ferncroft A

Amazing mix of relaxation and adventure. Perfect for our family - had activities for the Kamikaze (older son); laid back (younger son), the boss (my wife) and myself. Our kids really grew - physically and emotionally in the span of one week. ” — R & S, Charlotte, NC, Week of July 9, 2011, Whistler

We came from California - across the country to be with our children and grandchildren. We had a ball doing all the activities for adults while the kids were in camp - were able to enjoy lunch & dinner with adults - AND could play with the kids during the p.m. - at the pool, at the lake and all the other activities. It was a wonderful experience! Also we learned a lot of new skills. Loved riding a bike to everything. ” — M & M, Menlo Park, CA, Week of July 16, 2011, Inn #2

51 more weeks until paradise again! I got to go golfing with my father, fishing with my brother, biking with my son, swimming in the lake with my daughter, and have a romantic evening with my wife. What could be better! Family reunions at The Tyler Place are the best! ” — W & M, Massapequa, NY, Week of July 16, 2011, Inn #4

One week in heaven once again. The Tyler Place makes the other 51 weeks of the year look dull and bleak. ” — L & G, Paris, Week of July 16, 2011, Inn #102

We had another wonderful stay at The Tyler Place. The boys had so much fun and can't wait to come back (they are pushing for a longer stay next time!). We completely enjoyed the lake, relaxing and having fun together. It was great to see our boys push themselves to do things they otherwise wouldn't - Tyler Place is truly magical! ” — R & D, Belmont, MA, Week of July 16, 2011, Redhead

We loved it. This was the first holiday we've had since our children were born and it was perfect. ” — M & J, Toronto, Ontario, Week of July 16, 2011, Ferncroft C

The real value of our Tyler Place vacation is the joy that our children share with us daily as they experience camp. I watched my children make new friends and rekindle relationships from the previous year - a natural maturation process. In addition, The Tyler Place experience allowed my wife and I to rediscover activities we enjoyed before kids such as playing, tennis, biking…. ” — D & F, Madison, CT, Week of July 16, 2011, Popcorn

For our family, The Tyler Place is thirty minutes and a world away. Thank you for making our kids excited to come back all year long. ” — J & L, South Burlington, VT, Week of July 16, 2011, Butternut

Staff could not have been nicer. We could not have had a nicer time. Money well spent. Everyone went out of their way to be cheerful and helpful. A restorative week for all of us. ” — E & K, Dover, MA, Week of July 16, 2011, Carriage House III

I’m so spoiled! Could we have more hours in the days we are her? Saturday comes too soon! Each year is unique and awesome. Your staff is unbelievably kind and on the ball - I really think other corporations should come here to see what customer service is REALLY like! ” — R & K, West Barnstable, MA, Week of July 16, 2011, Farmhouse South

Everyone sang your praises with such passion that I tempered our expectations prior to arrival. I assumed the vision of Nirvana could not exist. But it is alive and well at the T.P. You exceeded all of our expectations with your unique programs, wonderful people and beautiful setting. See you next year! ” — P & L, Coral Gables, FL, Week of July 16, 2011, Ferncroft B

I can basically sum it up in one sentence: I can't imagine NOT coming back! ” — R & J, West Hartford, CT, Week of July 16, 2011, Inn #117-118

The Tyler Place is the epitome of a wholesome family vacation. They always focus on friendship building and their love of nature fills your heart with joy. ” — B & C, St. Petersburg, FL, Week of July 16, 2011, Canvasback

We're addicted to this place! ” — R & E, Ottawa, Ontario, Week of July 16, 2011, Sandpiper

Candid photographer excellent! We love the variety of things to do, especially activities on the lake. We feel very comfortable with the independence and supervision that our kids experience. Kids' programming - adult activities - family time = A great vacation. No place else would probably ever compare if we did not return. ” — S & J, Kensington, MD, Week of July 16, 2011, Champlain

Our third year here and looking forward to many more to come. Each year we find new adventures for everyone in the family - the one vacation where parents and kids have equal amounts of fun. Lots of activities, great facilities, delicious food and the best staff anywhere! Couldn't imagine a better vacation. ” — R & M, Andover, MA, Week of July 16, 2011, Inn #115-116

Disney could soon lose their reputation as the Happiest Place on Earth if more people learn about The Tyler Place. We live an hour away, but would gladly travel across a continent for the singular blend of cherished adult time, great childcare and the unparalleled opportunity to reconnect as a couple. We are already looking forward to coming back as grandparents, as our (small) children don't plan on ever leaving! ” — R & P, Charlotte, VT, Week of July 16, 2011, Willow

The Tyler Place is OUR place (sorry, actual Tylers). It is the highlight of our family's summer and as much a part of our life as summer is. The memories we make here will carry us through after the kids leave - and until we come with our grandkids! ” — R & J, Dallas, TX, Week of July 16, 2011, Chestnut

This was the most relaxing vacation we've had since our kids were born, even with a new baby. We plan to return to The Tyler Place every year for as long as we can. ” — M & M, Newton, MA, Week of July 16, 2011, Winnie's

We love the food! It was great to be able to try new things: Zumba, art classes, sailing… We also really loved the farm tours - Guy really gave a nice tour. Made sure to hit the omelet station today just to try eggs from his farm. ” — R & D, Beverly, MA, Week of July 16, 2011, Ferncroft D

This was our second consecutive year at The Tyler Place and it just keeps getting better! It's the only place we go every year where we all (parents and small children) leave happy! ” — A & S, Brooklyn, NY, Week of July 16, 2011, Franklin House I

Something for everyone (all ages). Fantastic, friendly, helpful outgoing staff - truly the best staff overall from any resort we've ever been to. Relaxing. Great camp experience for adults and kids without the work involved in creating this for ourselves. ” — H & S, Calgary, Alberta, Week of July 16, 2011, Partridge II

The Tyler Place is where the whole family gets a true fun-filled vacation…there is so much to do, visiting with the other guests is great - we look forward to returning next summer! ” — C & A, San Mateo, CA, Week of July 16, 2011, Farmhouse Up

The Tyler Place keeps getting better! We so appreciate how hard your staff works to make it the BEST family vacation spot in the U.S. (and probably the world). The T.P. is good for our souls. Thank you! ” — M & M, Verona, WI, Week of July 16, 2011, Farmhouse West

Any place that can leave us in a blissful state after all the mishaps getting there gets top marks in my book. T.P. has hospitality down pat and the T.P. treatment of staff makes things even better. ” — M & E, Tacoma Park, MD, Week of July 16, 2011, Goldeneye

We love everything about The Tyler Place - where else can the adults have their own experience, kids of all ages have fun, meet other families, socialize and eat fantastic food. No planning involved while here, etc. The best vacation we take all year! ” — J & H, Trumbull, CT, Week of July 16, 2011, Hardack

We loved it! It surpassed our expectations in every way. We appreciated your attention to our children with food allergies, as well as smaller details such as wait staff willing to keep an eye on the kids while we are at the buffet. ” — R & A, Woodmere, NY, Week of July 16, 2011, Gander

We loved it! It was an excellent mix of family time and adult time. We feel like we actually had a vacation. We are coming back in September. ” — R & C, Newton, MA, Week of May 27, 2011, Elmwood West

The water sports are great. Really enjoyed tennis, yoga and fishing. ” — W & J, Crystal Lake, IL, Week of July 2, 2011, Goldeneye

We had a fabulous time. Great mix of family time and couple time. Especially loved the overall old-fashioned feeling for the kids…felt a lot like our childhood rather than modern day childhood. ” — S & C, Ridgewood, NJ, Week of July 23, 2011, Inn #101

Really enjoyed our stay. As parents of 23-month old twins and a 9-year old, there aren't many vacation options where everyone can have a good time. The Tyler Place fulfilled this for us for the second year in a row! ” — T & M, Wilton, CT, Week of July 23, 2011, Champlain

Another great year! It amazes us every year the enthusiasm and excitement our arrival at T.P. brings and the subsequent disappointment when we have to leave! Without question a wonderful vacation experience for all, fun and independence for the kids, stimulating adult activities and an opportunity to reconnect with friends. ” — C & L, Bridgewater, NJ, Week of July 23, 2011, Inn #103

With each passing year, our entire family grows more attached to our idyllic Vermont vacation. Our 8-year old daughter made a ‘countdown to the T.P.’ calendar last year some time in February and diligently crossed off the days in anticipation!! ” — S & C, Verona, NJ, Week of July 23, 2011, Ferncroft D

The Tyler Place was a great vacation! There are so few resorts that cater to families with children under three. It was truly amazing to see my son enjoying himself and doing so many activities. ” — R & S, Bethesda, MD, Week of July 23, 2011, Ferncroft B

This is the first 'real' vacation for us that we have had - by real I mean relaxing - perfect balance of parent time, family time and activities. It surprised us how active all the guests are. ” — E & M, Dolver, MA, Week of July 23, 2011, Park

I am so happy with your candid photographer selection. He captured so many fantastic images of every child, it seemed. Also very happy with gentleman who supervised archery and skeet shooting activities. ” — L & P, Metairie, LA, Week of July 23, 2011, Carriage House II

Everything was pretty much as advertised. The food was better than I anticipated (really excellent) and the condition of the sports facilities was also outstanding. But what really made it a standout vacation were the other guests. People could not have been friendlier and all the guests were very welcoming and made you feel like long time guests and friends. ” — S & P, Avon, CT, Week of July 23, 2011, Inn #104

My daughter overcame her fears and went down the 'death slide' 24 times. Last year it was the mountain bike - and now she has one at home. This is a great, safe environment to allow the children to challenge themselves. And it's a good opportunity to let parents give their children some independence that they do not always get at home. ” — R & K, Shelton, CT, Week of July 23, 2011, Lakeview

Love the 'relaxation' for parents. It's the only vacation that feels restful. Can do as much or as little as you want. Love the exercise classes. So convenient and don't cost extra. Love the three meals a day (prepared by someone else) and not having to make decisions about where we are going to eat. Love all of it. ” — J & L, Jefferson, NH, Week of July 23, 2011, Frankllin House I

‘The best thing about The Tyler Place is hanging out with all your friends!’ our 7-year old daughter. Carol Ann rocked!! More of Carol in future years for the bonfire. ” — J & A, Wellesley, MA, Week of July 23, 2011, Winnie's

This being our 8th year, need we say more? ” — J & C, Granby, MA, Week of July 23, 2011, Ferncroft C

The variety of activities (organized or not) that are offered; the children's activities (and obvious/apparent care by the staff); food preparation, selection and quality! ” — J & S, Pottstown, PA, Week of July 23, 2011, Tyler Up

As someone in the children's entertainment business, I would say The Tyler Place is the best summer vacation spot available. The kids’ programs, facilities and staff are outstanding. Having the programming available allows parents some time to relax and take part in some great adult activities! Well done, Tyler Place! We'll be back! ” — D & N, Toronto, Ontario, Week of July 23, 2011, Farmhouse Down

We had another great vacation at The Tyler Place. Kudos to you for keeping our pre-teen and teen happy and busy for the entire week!! ” — J & P, Orange, CT, Week of July 23, 2011, Whistler

We feel very lucky to be a part of The Tyler Place family. The feeling of community here is unmatched anywhere we have ever been. It is a truly magical place. We will be back next year and many more years. ” — W & M, Durham, CA, Week of July 23, 2011, Elmwood East

The Tyler Place does a wonderful job of taking care of and providing an incredibly fun experience for children of ALL ages, while allowing parents to relax and/or participate in a variety of activities. The Tyler Place gives you the best of both worlds - relaxing time for parents and great family fun, vacation for kids all wrapped up in one! ” — R & C, New Orleans, LA, Week of July 23, 2011, Franklin House II

Unlike most 'trips' we've taken, The Tyler Place is a true vacation for our kids and us. We get alone time, family time and everything in between. We just finished our 7th year here and are planning for #8. ” — A & J, Park Ridge, IL, Week of July 23, 2011, Inn #1

The Tyler Place is our family's magical place. We have met other guests who have become our closest friends and also now come with other family. The staff is friendly and welcoming, the food is great and the outstanding activities are plentiful. We love to play in the lake all day and go to great dinners and activities each night. ” — S & D, Rockville, MD, Week of July 23, 2011, Bluebill

Perfect week of vacation for our entire family of 13. Once you experience The Tyler Place you need not look any further. Although the accommodations are not fancy, they are very comfortable and adequate. The entire facility is very well maintained and the property is outstanding. ” — M & F, Pittsburgh, PA, Week of July 23, 2011, Farmhouse Down

The Tyler Place is a dream-come-true for families with young children. The parents are able to be as busy or relaxed as they please, while the children are having the time of their lives. It's a great 'camp' experience, especially for those who might be too young for sleep-away camp. The very special T.P. staff makes this place a memorable and welcoming experience for our family. ” — P & L, Richmond, VA, Week of July 23, 2011, Partridge I

We all thoroughly enjoy our week at The Tyler Place every year. Our three girls, ages 12, 8 & 8 look forward to their vacation and Lake Champlain - enjoy their group activities and the independence that their adventures have given them - bike riding, zip line, trampoline on land and lake and hanging out with many old-time friends. My husband and I love all of the same - so relaxing and exciting at the same time. ” — J & K, Moorestown, NJ, Week of July 23, 2011, Farmhouse Up

I came not knowing what to expect as a 'new' guest and soon came to realize The Tyler Place offers a terrific children's program with a wide range of activities for during the day and at night while allowing the adults time to relax and read a book or partake in grown up activities and share awesome, delightful meals with family. Definitely plan on returning in 2012 or another time!! ” — N, Alexandria, LA, Week of July 23, 2011, Laura

Great family vacation and fun activities for everybody. Kids love this place. Everything is well organized and the whole T.P. staff is great. Our Parent Helper, Tammy, was wonderful and our little 9-month old baby was very happy and enjoyed every single day - and so did we. Thanks again! ” — R & S, Chatham, NJ, Week of July 30, 2011, Inn #3

The tennis lessons were excellent! As always, the bike ride was glorious and the kayak trip was relaxing and serene. We love The Tyler Place - there really is no other 'resort' like this. The guests are friendly and fun; the food is exceptional; the activities keep those of us busy who like to be physically active and best of all, our kids love it. The Tyler Place will always have a special place in our hearts. We love the Tylers and feel privileged to have had so many wonderful times here. P.S. Staff always speaks highly of the Tylers and the way they are treated, which is probably yet another reason why things turn out so well at The Tyler Place. ” — B & D, Columbia, MD, Week of July 30, 2011, Inn #1

Coming back as grandparents is wonderful. You can do as much as you want or do nothing at all and still be with family. The grandchildren have an absolute ball! They always meet so many new and interesting people - many we reconnect with each year. It always feels like 'one big happy family'. ” — J & C, Scarborough, NY, Week of July 30, 2011, Inn #4

A perfect vacation for us. We've been looking for something like this for five years. You exceeded all expectations (which were high to begin with). ” — B & S, Chapel Hill, NC, Week of July 30, 2011, Pintail

While certainly comfortable and nicely loaded accommodations, we're glad you seem to be motivated to have the best food, staff and activities possible. And where do you find your guests? It was great to spend the week with them! ” — M & D, Chapel Hill, NC, Week of July 30, 2011, Carriage House III

Food was fantastic, especially the veggies. No where else do I eat my vegetables first and eventually get around to the meat. ” — R & H, Locust Valley, NY, Week of July 30, 2011, Winnie's

Love that the food is good. Always end up surprised by that! Love how old-fashioned and safe everything feels. ” — M & M, Irvington, NY, Week of July 30, 2011, Hardack

The staff is uniformly first rate. Our kids can be nervous about trying new things, but were incredibly enthusiastic about their group and experiences. ” — J & A , New York, NY, Week of July 30, 2011, Ferncroft B

Don't change a thing about this place! There is nothing like The Tyler Place - the only 'real' vacation for parents and kids. From the moment I picked up my bike the first day until I dropped it off before dinner on the last day, I was liberated from my car and free to enjoy nature the way it was meant to be enjoyed. ” — R & J, Atlanta, GA, Week of July 30, 2011, Butterball

The all-inclusive family vacation for every age - The Tyler Place 'family' welcomes veteran families the same way they do the new families. It's an opportunity for adults and children to do things they never dreamed of in a safe, loving and fun environment. ” — H & M, Grosse Point Park, MI, Week of July 30, 2011, Inn #101

It's time to build the Giant Cottage for Guests who just don't want to go home - and I volunteer to be the first resident. If I had never experienced this idyllic, active, deliciously gastronomic, biking, hiking, boating, quality-time-with-and-without-progeny, annual retreat - I'd be wistful without even knowing why. ” — J & H, Georgetown, SC, Week of July 30, 2011, Woodcrest

This is a wonderful place for an inter-generational family vacation. It's beautiful, well-run and the children's and adult programs are excellent. You take care of the details very well. Thank you. ” — J & L, Vancouver, British Columbia, Week of July 30, 2011, Elmwood West

What I like is that I feel welcome by EVERYONE from the Front Desk to housekeeping to the wait staff. (And by all the other guests.) Mostly - the best thing here is that my kids are active, excited to be here, involved in activities, making friends and exhausted at the end of the day. ” — D, Wickford, RI, Week of July 30, 2011, Partridge I

Our kids learned to fish, ride a bike and played harder than they have ever played! We were able to relax knowing they were having the most amazing time ever. The adult activities were wonderful and the food was amazing! ” — B & C, Jonesboro, AR, Week of July 30, 2011, Sandpiper

Keep doing what you're doing! The Tyler Place is a one-of-a-kind family vacation that is a great time for everyone in the family. You have something very special here. ” — R & P, Shaker Heights, OH, Week of July 30, 2011, Inn #102

Every year this is our most relaxing vacation. And every year, our children request that we return! This year they were eagerly anticipating Capture the Flag, the Duckling Triathlon and graduating to the Big Zip Line. Also, we appreciate what a great job you do of finding local talent and bringing them to The Tyler Place to teach us their arts, sports, knowledge of the natural world and more. ” — C & N, Brooklyn, NY, Week of July 30, 2011, Canvasback

This place is perfect for kids and adults of all ages! ” — P & A, London, Week of July 30, 2011, Whistler

The experience was fabulous, much due to the well thought out plan to introduce families through cocktail and exercise activities. This allowed us to quickly meet wonderful new friends and families with similar ideas. Your staff are amazing and create a wonderful experience that will be with us forever. Thank you. ” — J & C, Carmel, IN, Week of July 2, 2011, Lisa

We feel free to use any and all praise. Everyone at The Tyler Place goes beyond what is expected to make the experience memorable. Even as first time guests we felt like family. ” — F & A, Roslindale, MA, Week of July 2, 2011, Stork

Loved the warmer pool temperature; the food was excellent; the boat dock staff was the best ever. This was a wonderful vacation. We can now face the year. See you next year! ” — R & N, New Orleans, LA, Week of July 23, 2011, Mallard

We had heard good things about The Tyler Place from former guests, but were still surprised by what a good time we (and our kids) had. We were especially happy to meet such a wonderful and interesting collection of people and have the time to get to know them. ” — L & L, West Hartford, CT, Week of August 6, 2011, Inn #102

Our 20th year has been every bit as wonderful as our first! ” — B & R, Newark, DE, Week of August 6, 2011, Ferncroft E

Our kids look forward to The Tyler Place the entire year. The counselors are attentive and the activities are endlessly entertaining. More than anything, though, we appreciate the attention paid to satisfying guests' needs. When we needed a doctor recommendation, it was immediately provided. When I got my i-phone wet and wanted to try an unusual remedy suggested on the Internet (submerging it in uncooked rice to draw out the moisture), I was given a container of uncooked rice, no questions asked. When my husband needed a landline in order to do an interview on a national radio show, the office gladly obliged. We’ve never experienced customer service at that level. ” — D & R, Brooklyn, NY, Week of August 6, 2011, Park

Loved the place and enjoyed the family time as well as couples time. Great food. Loved the wide variety of options at meals - vegetarian, etc. ” — R & C, Washington, DC, Week of August 6, 2011, Partridge II

The attention to detail was apparent - from the food to the accommodations to the social activities. We had a blast and are grateful we've discovered this experience - The Tyler Place - while our daughter is a mere toddler (how she loved it, too!). ” — J & J, Cambridge, MA, Week of August 6, 2011, Hilltop

The food is outstanding. The Parents Helpers were so helpful. Really enjoyed the Parent Helpers. Love the activities for the children. It wasn't just babysitting - it was camp! ” — K & A, Baltimore, MD, Week of August 6, 2011, Lisa

We always assumed that when our oldest reached 16 that our Tyler days would be over. However, our 12-year old really wanted to come and our 16-year old came out of sense of duty. He is neither really a kid here and also not an adult. However, you made it work for him, even though he had no group, he joined many adult activities and felt quite welcome. He had a good time and he wants to come back next year with us. ” — D & J, New York, NY, Week of August 6, 2011, Chestnut

In today's society, there is a shortage of quality family time. The Tyler Place helps families take a step back to enjoy each other's company again. I will always remember the sunny Tuesday my 5-year old son took my hand after several thrilling zip line rides, looked up at me as we walked up the lawn towards the Inn, smiled and said, 'Dad, this is the best day ever.' ” — E & S, Chevy Chase, MD, Week of August 6, 2011, Whistler

We had another fabulous week at The Tyler Place - our 14th year. This was the first year one of our kids was a young adult and he had a great week. As always, the children's programs were excellent. Our Tyler Place vacation is a cherished week for us. We really appreciate all of the work the staff does to make the T.P. such a great place for our family.

” — W & M, Irving, TX, Week of August 6, 2011, Farmhouse West

The Tyler Place is a unique family resort. It is well run and the staff is attentive, courteous and efficient. The facility and grounds are well maintained and both adults and children couldn't be happier. Can't wait for next year. ” — H & J, Ryeq, NY, Week of August 6, 2011, Farmhouse Up

The Tyler Place resort was a wonderful week away from reality. The staff and guests were so pleasant, it really made us (1st timers) feel welcome. Our kids loved their camps and all the amazing activities they took part in. It was also a wonderful treat to have 21 meals as a couple, knowing our kids were being taken care of. ” — T & L, Lauderdale by Sea, FL, Week of August 6, 2011, Partridge I

'Enchanting vacation that I want to do for the rest of my life' (our 8-year old daughter). Wonderful staff, beautiful resort, everything so well thought out. But most of all, special memories and friendships formed for all of us. Thank you! ” — N & D, South Windsor, CT, Week of August 6, 2011, Teal

We have vacationed at several family resorts over the years and are impressed with The Tyler Place. The kids loved camp and didn't want to miss one minute of it. The food for adults and teens was delicious and the Tylers do a great job of facilitating social interaction between the adults at the cocktail parties at the beginning of the week. ” — M & M, Chatham, NJ, Week of August 6, 2011, Inn #101

This was our seventh year and it just keeps getting better! The whole family had a fabulous week - everything was great from the staff to the activities to the food to (most importantly) the many friends we've made. It's always a little hard to leave, but we're comforted to remember - only 51 weeks until next year! We'd also like to add that, as always, Karen and the dining room staff were great and Chad, Becky and Siobhan rocked! Thanks all! ” — M & K, Wayland, MA, Week of August 6, 2011, Tyler North

Bookmobile: great idea for the kids (we have two avid readers); staff - great selection, again. Outstanding hiring practices. ” — G & E, Phoenix, MD, Week of August 6, 2011, Tyler South

All the staff is very friendly, courteous and respectful. Setting is very beautiful. This was the right place for the 14 of us of all ages for our family reunion. ” — P & E, San Antonio, TX, Week of August 6, 2011, Inn #3

I liked Becky and Siobhan - very professional, enthusiastic and fun as our guides for mountain bike and hike trips. The pool was beautiful and free poolside massage was heavenly. I liked the lake mat. Housekeeping did a great job keeping our accommodation tidy. I enjoyed making new friends and reconnecting with old. ” — P & L, Durham, NC, Week of August 6, 2011, Laura

The Tyler Place represents the best of the American vacation - friendly people, beautiful country and great times. ” — D & K, Jersey City, NJ, Week of August 6, 2011, Tyler Up

We love how great the counselors are with the kids, and the kids' activities are great. Counselors are wonderful to parents as well. Waterfront staff - great. Love that we can have our own time and family time. ” — T & G, Concord, NH, Week of August 6, 2011, Pintail

The food was exceptional! The company was most welcoming. The staff was fantastic. We just love this place and would recommend this to everyone. Just too far from Australia. P.S. We just love America and its people! ” — C & C, Belrose, Week of August 10, 2011, Banquet

The Tyler Place is the easiest, most relaxed trip you can take with your family. The kids' program is fantastic. The food is amazing. The company is excellent. ” — D & D, Newton, MA, Week of July 30, 2011, Tyler Up

Spending a week at The Tyler Place is a bit like spending a week with great friends you see infrequently - except that they make all your meals and clean up after you. It is the perfect blend of family time, alone time and couple time. The kids are always anxious to come back next year and I just count the days… G & D, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Gander, 7/30-8/6/2011
The magic that is The Tyler Place needs no improvement. They just need to let me continue coming forever! Waterfront staff: I seriously believe they are the primary reason we (and I believe I speak for all of our friends - something I do often!) have the time of our lives. We feel welcomed, special and…well, about 25 years old!! What could be wrong with that?! Special thanks to Tim, Quint, Joelman, Cody, Mason, Gordon, Devin, Casey, Dimitri, Rem. Ted, Pixley & Chad - you've done it again. The deep funk I'm in now is just a testimony to the vacation of a lifetime that only gets better year after year. I miss you all already. Please visit!
” — S & P, Armonk, NY, Week of July 23, 2011, Popcorn

This was our fifth year at The Tyler Place. We seem to have a better time every year - which is amazing because our first year was fantastic. We have now watched our kids achieve multiple summertime milestones at the T.P. - riding bikes without training wheels, walking back to our cabin on their own if they wish, kayaking, etc. We feel so lucky to have found the T.P. five years ago. ” — W & E, Alexandria, VA, Week of August 6, 2011, Willow

When we asked our 12-year old son what he was looking forward to most at The Tyler Place, he immediately answered, 'independence'. The Tyler Place allows kids to be kids, explore the grounds and the lake, have fun with their friends and be free from the confines of urban/suburban living - all in a safe environment. ” — O & L, Chapel Hill, NC, Week of August 13, 2011, Gander

After 5 years of coming to The Tyler Place, we eagerly anticipate year #6. Our kids are already planning their activities for next summer. We can't wait to come back! ” — B & C, Ridgefield, CT, Week of August 13, 2011, Farmhouse Down

We really enjoyed our stay this year. Even though our activities were limited by my wife being eight months pregnant, we enjoyed relaxing by the pool and lakefront as well as arts and crafts. Our son had a fabulous time in his group and loved the counselors. ” — J & A, Hanover, NH, Week of August 13, 2011, Chestnut

We always love our week here. We greatly value the family time in the afternoon, but the kids' camps and separate adult time are what set the T.P. apart from other places. We have made great and lifelong friends here. ” — L & S, Summit, NJ, Week of August 13, 2011, Kingfisher

Thank you for another fabulous year. Somehow we manage to find new things to do year after year. Our children and we have made great fiends and we look forward to the warm, family-like feeling when we return next year. ” — C & K, Needham, MA, Week of August 13, 2011, Farmhouse Up

Wonderful place for active families! People were very friendly. Fantastic range of activities. Great balance of couple, family and individual activities. Daily schedule allowing adults to eat together was great. Ability to choose new things every day was fantastic. Thanks, Tyler Place! ” — J & M, Chicago, IL, Week of August 13, 2011, Inn #2

The Tyler Place has been like a second home to us. This was our 10th (!) summer. It still has that same magic. We are so sad to say goodbye, but after a lot of thought, we realize that it's time to see new sights and travel as a family. We will miss the T.P. very much! ” — I & R, Southborough, MA, Week of August 13, 2011, Popcorn

Over the past five summers that we've come to the T.P., our children have loved the independence that comes with each passing year. Now they feel comfortable and excited to ride their bikes all around and our son can check himself out of camp. We, as parents, love that they can have that sort of independence in a very safe environment. ” — G & M, Baltimore, MD, Week of August 13, 2011, Lisa

The best thing about The Tyler Place is that everyone is so friendly and helpful - that includes our fellow guests as well as T.P. staff. The food is great as are the children's programs. ” — M & J, Wigston, Leicestershire, Week of August 13, 2011, Franklin House I

The quality of the children's programs is extremely high - from the child/counselor ratio to the activities - also, somehow the kids end up bonding with other kids in six days. Food is fresh, excellent - (largely local) ingredients, well prepared with enough creative options to satisfy most appetites. Staff are attentive, friendly, helpful. There seems to be a deep commitment to keeping guests happy. ” — R & J, Havertown, PA, Week of August 13, 2011, Carriage House IV

Can't say enough!! Will try to post on Facebook. Loved it! ” — T & K, Chapel Hill, NC, Week of August 13, 2011, Cedar

This was our 6th year at The Tyler Place and it was as wonderful as ever. The boat dock guys are great. Shout outs to Joel, Gordon, Dimitri, Rem, Patrick & Casey! ” — T & S, New Canaan, CT, Week of August 13, 2011, Lisa

The Tyler Place is really a unique place and hard to explain to people who haven't been here. It is really the only vacation we have been on where both the adults and children alike had fun. For adults, there are a myriad of activities. My husband enjoyed all of the active pursuits. My favorite part is not having to worry about, plan, shop for, prepare, serve or clean up after a single meal all week. Our kids like all of the fun things they get to do at camp and with their parent helper. ” — S & J, New York, NY, Week of August 13, 2011, Goose

Our 9th year at The Tyler Place was as special as the rest. We have loved spending time with the amazing friends we've made here. Our kids have grown up at The Tyler Place and they look forward to it all year. Thank you! ” — M & A, Newport Beach, CA, Week of August 13, 2011, Bayview

It is our favorite family vacation and we can't wait to return again. It is simply the right combination of everything, for everyone in the family! Thanks for such an incredible place and experience! ” — B & S, Vienna, VA, Week of August 13, 2011, Butternut

The Tyler Place has athletics, art and relaxation - something for everyone. Our first attempt at pottery was superb - Sara & Michel provide interesting background and humor-filled instruction and then finish off the experience at their classic pottery studio. ” — M & S, Wolfeboro, NH, Week of August 13, 2011, Laura

As first time guests we were welcomed by all guests and staff. We were impressed with the variety of activities available. Our 6-year old daughter jumped right in and had a great week in the Junior group. As parents we enjoyed dining on the fabulous food and getting to know the other guests at meals. The balance of family time and adult-only time was perfect. ” — S & D, Greensboro, NC, Week of August 13, 2011, Butterball

The Tyler Place continues to meet and exceed our expectations. After 8 years here the thing we still look forward to is our special time at the T.P. ” — M & M, St. Davids, PA, Week of August 13, 2011, Stork

Staff are so friendly, helpful and engaging. We enjoyed getting to know some of the young students from abroad and hearing about their experiences. The food is superb. Lots of choice of activities for all ages and efficiently and fairly organized. Love the evening entertainment options! ” — R & M, New Hope, PA, Week of August 13, 2011, Davies

Forget calling it the best vacation of our lives. It was the best WEEK of our lives! ” — L & P, Duxbury, MA, Week of August 13, 2011, Hardack

As always, we had a wonderful time. As our children grow older and more independent, our experience evolves and just keeps getting better! ” — J & P, Upper Saddle River, NJ, Week of August 13, 2011, Inn #5-6

Everything was fantastic, as usual. The staff was so friendly and accommodating and the friendships we have made will last beyond The Tyler Place. ” — C & E, Huntington, NY, Week of August 13, 2011, Sandpiper

An absolutely fantastic week. Our 10-year old wants to return for two weeks next year and our 5-year old is begging for 'just three more days' this year. And our 40-something bodies are sore from head to toe from the biking, hiking, jogging, swimming, yoga - it's like summer camp for adults. Thank you for putting together such a fantastic staff here - they are what makes this place great. Can't wait until next year. ” — K & M, Bethesda, MD, Week of August 13, 2011, Tyler Up

We love The Tyler Place! All of us have made such wonderful friends and enjoyed so many great activities each visit. Our time here is better each year. Truly a special place! ” — J & D, Longmeadow, MA, Week of August 13, 2011, Inn #104

The Tyler Place is truly heaven on earth for all four members of our family. We each may love it for different reasons, but that is the beauty and uniqueness of the T.P. - there really is something (or things!) for everyone. We all mourn the day we leave, but then begin the countdown to next year. Thank you, Tyler Place, for giving us such a special vacation! ” — R & P, Manhasset, NY, Week of August 13, 2011, Inn #103

Our first time and really a great place with a small-town feel. Delicious food, great kids' camp, lots of choices for the parents and everybody gets a bike. We are coming back! ” — M & J, Briarcliff Manor, NY, Week of August 13, 2011, Mrs. T's

The Tyler Place is simply the best place in the world for my entire family. We all laugh and have fun more in our one week at the T.P. than we do the rest of the year combined! It is just an incredibly happy place. ” — G & R, Middletown, NJ, Week of July 23, 2011, Mrs. T's

It was all terrific. The cottage was great, the food terrific and the staff super. The kids loved their programs. The adult programs were great, too, and there was lots of time for parents to spend together. Of the staff: Gordon was terrific. So was Dave. Chad was okay, too! Had a great week. Look forward to coming back. ” — J & K, Wilmington, DE, Week of August 20, 2011, Hilltop

Staff wonderful as always. Mothers' Helpers - tremendous. I wouldn't think twice about coming here with a baby. Nice visible improvements in accommodations - nice new linens, carpet, curtains, etc. Most appreciated. Overall, this was the best of the three years we've been here. ” — J & L, Chicago, IL, Week of August 20, 2011, Farmhouse Up

A true vacation for families - kids happily occupied, adults entertained! ” — K & K, Westport, CT, Week of August 20, 2011, Popcorn

We LOVED low ropes! We loved all the options for family time. We could do scheduled activities or find our own things to do. The waterfront staff is exceptional. They went out of their way to make sure we were accommodated. ” — S & L, Killingworth, CT, Week of August 20, 2011, Inn #2

Our kids, ages 7 & 10, had a blast at The Tyler Place. They are VERY active and the variety of activities for them did not disappoint. What we found most unique and special about the T.P. was the guilt-free adult time. It's rare to go on vacation where you and your spouse can enjoy a myriad of activities together and go out and enjoy each other's company in the evening without worrying that the kids are having a great time, too. A true family vacation with something for everyone. ” — E & W, Wilton, CT, Week of August 20, 2011, Ferncroft C

We truly enjoyed our stay but the best part of the vacation was knowing my children were well cared for during camp hours. ” — A & K, Bethesda, MD, Week of August 20, 2011, Inn #103

Old friends. New friends. The right balance of family time and adult time. Plenty of activities with the option to do nothing at all. After seven summers, so many things are new but the best stay the same. Single best asset is the incredible, wonderful staff. ” — J & M, Wellesley, MA, Week of August 20, 2011, Teal

My son asked me tonight if he could be sold to the Tyler family! He wants to be a part of the Tyler dream team! We love it here and are looking forward to the summer of 2012 and year #6 for our family. ” — N & K, Milburn, NJ, Week of August 20, 2011, Ferncroft F

The Tyler Place is the ideal family vacation. The adult time is unique and the family time always provides opportunities to make wonderful memories to last a lifetime. Fishing, water-skiing, bike trips, meals with friends (old and new) always are highlights. Thank you. ” — L & M, Short Hills, NJ, Week of August 20, 2011, Tyler North

The Tyler Place worked its magic again - our son became a confident biker and much more independent. Our daughter made new friends and the grown-ups had just the right mix of relaxation and adventure. ” — M & T, Bethany, CT, Week of August 20, 2011, Lakeview

The Tyler Place is the highlight of our summer - and beats out all our other vacations this year, including trips to London, Paris, Hawaii. Will be back next year! ” — P & M, Narberth, PA, Week of August 20, 2011, Butternut

For 51 weeks of the year I look forward to my next week at The Tyler Place. We love it here for so many reasons: my husband and I get to spend unplanned quality time together, our kids love group and we all get to have fun together during family time. We've met so many nice people here and enjoy the friendliness among guests. We also love that our city kids get a 'wholesome' vacation, spending time in the outdoors and experiencing a level of freedom they miss at home. The counselors are truly amazing. My kids have taken to them immediately and feel comfortable from day one - which makes us happy and guilt-free! Thank you for another wonderful year!!! ” — R & L, New York, NY, Week of August 20, 2011, Woodduck

This was our 10th year at The Tyler Place and we look forward to continuing this annual tradition for as long as possible. Everyone in our family looks forward to this week all year long.

This is a vacation for moms. Moms especially get a vacation because they don't feel they are trying to coordinate disparate interests of unique family members. ” — K & E, Sumner, WA, Week of August 20, 2011, Ferncroft E

We loved our time at The Tyler Place. The activities were well planned and it was a real vacation for everyone in our family. The counselors were great with the kids and adults.

We've come two years now and it's one of the few places parents and kids alike feel like they've had a vacation. Can you order up some sunshine for next year? ” — C & K, Mount Airy, MD, Week of August 20, 2011, Carriage House II

This week is always the best week of our year. If only you could clone a winter version! ” — S & V, Alexandria, VA, Week of August 20, 2011, Redhead

As always, we relished being in a place that makes our kids happy and also allows us to be ourselves as adults. We love the setting, the broad range of activities and the attentiveness of the staff. We have been coming to The Tyler Place for three years now and particularly enjoy our yearly reunion with friends we've made here. Thanks for another wonderful week! ” — D & S, Larchmont, NY, Week of August 20, 2011, Inn #7-8

Best balance of hard working fun (or relaxation if you want it) for family. Lainey is great as is 'Joel man'. ” — D & R, New York, NY, Week of August 20, 2011, Inn #115-116

Your tagline of 21 meals without children says it all…or almost…also, 'without preparation' should be added. The Tyler place is unique and perfect. ” — R & L, Marblehead, MA, Week of August 27, 2011, Goldeneye

We all enjoyed our first visit to The Tyler Place. The kids' activities were outstanding. The adult activities were great. The food was amazing, too. Not even a hurricane could detract from our vacation. It was worth every penny. ” — C & M, Allendale, NJ, Week of August 27, 2011, Bluebill

We had a great trip! Being new, we did not know what to expect. A little overwhelming the first couple of days, but then we loved it. Everyone had a wonderful time. Kids busy, parents had good quality time together. ” — W & D, North Reading, MA, Week of August 27, 2011, Woodcrest

The first time we have truly relaxed in seven years. We did more for ourselves in the first five days than in the past seven years combined. The staff, the Tyler family and the location have combined to create a spectacular and unique experience for adults and kids. Keep it up! ” — D & T, Glen Rock, NJ, Week of August 27, 2011, Ferncroft B

The Tyler Place is wonderful for the whole family. There are a lot of choices for adult activities ranging from active to mellow. The staff members are upbeat and helpful.
