Welcome To The Waterfront

If you take a short walk or bike ride down Old Dock Road, you’ll arrive at the Waterfront, where the lake opens up right before your eyes. Here is where some of our guests' favorite activities take place and where the friendly and welcoming Boat Dock staff will help you try new sports. All day you can get out on a paddle-board, kayak or sailboat. There are also elliptical paddle-boards that work like a machine and so you can explore the lake at your own pace. But while the lake can be perfect for these relaxing activities, it also gives [...]

Winter at The Tyler Place

What Winter Looks Like We're in the thick of our winter season, and the snow & ice are piling up at the resort. The sparkly white backdrop makes The Tyler Place look a lot different than the summer lakeside cottage community you all recognize. Take a look at these summer and winter photo comparisons!

White Pine

White Pine Cocktail Written by Claudia You have probably walked by one of our majestic white pine trees during the summer, or perhaps even stayed in Quail or Partridge, where the white pines tower over the cottages.

It was also employed medicinally by several native North American Indian tribes who valued it especially [...]

Most of you know Christopher as our brilliant magician, and many of our guests have had a chance to visit his sugaring operation during the summer months. Often it is difficult to imagine what is really going on during the [...]
