April 19, 2023 Stefan Strunk

Whether you’re exploring Vermont’s covered bridges, visiting Quechee Gorge or skiing at Killington, you’ll find Vermont to be picture-perfect. If you’re the outdoorsy type, you’ll love Vermont. In winter, of course, there’s plenty of skiing and snowboarding. In the warmer months, however, Vermont offers plenty of opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing and boating. If you enjoy boating, swimming and fishing, a vacation rental on Lake Champlain might be perfect for you.

Need of refresh

Reviewed By Travelwilly

Stoweflake has been a favorite for many years. Unfortunately it seems the pandemic has taken a toll. It needs a refresh of its exterior. The parking lot has many potholes and the entrance by our room has stairs that the concrete is disintegrating. The rug by the door has seen better days as has the rugs leading to the rooms. The staff at the front desks of reception and the spa seem weary at best and need to remember to be more inviting to their guests. My husband and I have been coming here for 15 years and it's always been our favorite place in Stowe. It saddened us to see it like this and for the staff to be so unwelcoming.

Absolutely disgusting

Reviewed By Lukesurface

We booked a 3 bedroom condominium at the Equinox to attend our niece and nephew's graduation. We had stayed here in the past in one of the hotel rooms but needed more space for family that was joining us. We rented a 3 bedroom "recently renovated" town home with a full kitchen, dining room and living area. We arrived late in the evening and noticed the shower head was spewing water all over the bathroom when we turned it on. This was just the beginning. The furniture had wine and food stains all over the fabric on multiple chairs and stools. There were TWO coffee mugs and THREE spoons in the kitchen....for a 3 bedroom unit that sleeps 6 adults. Upon waking the next morning we were shocked at the condition of the bed linens and the overall state of the unit.

Overpriced and overrated

Reviewed By Monatravel1207

Attended a family function. It was overpriced and overrated. View was stunning, and grounds were well kept. Everything was clean, and staff was efficient and helpful. However, the signage needs to be improved; it sells itself as a large resort but has almost invisible signs and directions. Food was not as good as expected.

Tyler Place Family Resort

9 age-staggered kids programs for Infants to Teens. A cozy cottage or family suite with separate parent's bedroom. Awesome, enthusiastic, counselors you'll want to take home with you. Exceptionally good, wholesome meals - three times a day - plus snacks. Evening meals without the kids - a chance to recharge your marriage. An amazing variety of land and water sports with no waiting lines. Lots of fresh air, green grass, blue water, bonfires and nights full of stars.

Happy campers!

This was our second trip to Tyler Place and we could not be more delighted with everything about it. We have searched far and wide for similar experiences and there is simply no comparison. It really is like a summer camp with lots of really fun and like minded families. Our 4 year old begged to go back to “school” each evening and we had no guilt eating dinner each night with other grown-ups. The Tyler family is so welcoming and treat guests like old friends. The activity calendar is so varied and something for everyone with lots of sports and active outdoor adventures. The overall atmosphere encourages pushing comfort limits and highlights of our week included some light mountain climbing, lots of tennis and a triathlon. Accommodations are pristine in terms of cleanliness and housekeeping came every morning while we are at breakfast. I would describe the cabins as “church-camp chic”. Very comfortable and part of the vibe. For what you get in terms of quality and inclusives, the rate is a steal especially in early season. The child activity counselors are a great mix of local and internationally and programming exceeds anything we have ever experienced at a resort or daycare. They truly take care of everything. We have nothing but positive feedback on our past two years of visits and look forward to many more years of fun!

Disappointed

Reviewed By wendmo

I am here with my family including a teenager and was looking forward to activities for him but there is no organized activities planned for this week and fun zones and lake activities closed until end of week . Even the ice cream store closed until weekend. Beautiful scenery but need activities, not sure why nothing this week ( It is June ).
