Guest Blog: "The Tyler Place Family Resort"

By Abbey Kochman, Age 10

Are you looking for an amazing vacation? One where you will make friends? A resort where you can relax, go on adventures, and a place the whole family can enjoy? If you answered yes to any of these questions then The Tyler Place is the resort for you! Some might say that Hawaii or New York is better, but they are sadly mistaken. The Tyler Place’s location is perfect! The activities are fit for a King and the food, that I can’t even describe! Your dream vacation, The Tyler Place!

Immediately when you get to The Tyler Place, you notice the location. It’s in Vermont. Imagine the melting hot sun in the summer. You’re fanning yourself, sweat dripping down your face – drip, drip. Not anymore! This summer resort, in Vermont, is just the right temperature. There are multiple choices of where you can stay. You could stay at a cottage that for a week will belong to you and your family only. There is a kitchen (though you won’t be doing any cooking), a family room, and a queen bed and two bunk beds. Or, you can stay at the Inn, an enormous “hotel” that has two bunk beds, a bathroom, and a queen bed. There is also a porch. It doesn’t really matter where you are staying because you won’t be in your room often! The Tyler Place “owns” some of Lake Champlain so you can hang out there. The lake has multiple fun games that I will tell you about later.

Next, I will tell you about the activities. The things you can play on the lake are the best! You can banana boat, paddle board to Pirate Island (it’s a really small island), go on the death slide, tube, jump on the water trampolines, canoe, and just swim. The water trampolines are blue and yellow, connected by a one foot wide long yellow thingy. The death slide is an extremely tall slide that is cut in half so you’re flying in the air for two seconds of sheer terror! One time I actually paddle boarded to Pirate Island with my friend. We nearly climbed to the top when we were informed that we had to go back to the dock. There are also other fun activities we can do at camp time and family time, which is three hours. We can go to the pool, watch a movie, play in the forest, do an obstacle course, watch a contraption collect maple from a maple tree, and go to the swamps. On the last day of camp we plan an enormous game of capture the flag. It’s so fun! During family time you can go horseback riding, play miniature golf, and so much more! While the kids are at camp the adults have fun activities too, like wine tasting, karaoke, and canoeing. That’s only the beginning!

Now, it’s time to talk about the professional cooked, mouth watering food - breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. For breakfast, you can have pancakes, scrambled eggs, fruit, hash browns, sausage, bacon, and so much more! It’s like an unlimited buffet every meal! As for lunch, well you never know what you’re gonna get. Same with dinner. I know there is always salad, I’ve had grilled cheese, a normal sandwich, anything really. As for dinner, I’ve had sizzling steak, burgers, burritos, and so much more!! For dessert, I have had cake, cookies cupcakes, ice cream, brownies, and who knows what else!

As you can see, The Tyler Place is the most amazing vacation ever! The location is perfect, not too hot, not too cold! The activities are phenomenal! You can see Canada from Pirate Island! Finally, the food – are you hungry? Come and get it!!! The Tyler Place is clearly a dream come true! It’s the hot spot of the century!
