*Last updated: November 14, 2026*

Travel Like a Local VT is an independent site. Here is how we make money and how we keep it honest, in line with the US Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides.

## Sponsored content and partnerships

Local businesses can pay to be featured through our [partnership program](https://travelikealocalvt.com/advertising-opportunities/), including sponsored guides, Instagram posts and placements. Anything paid for is labeled as sponsored, a partnership or “in partnership with” at the top of the post or in the caption. Sometimes we receive a free stay, meal or experience to review; we say so in that guide.

## Affiliate links

Some links to hotels, tours, books or products may be affiliate links. If you book or buy through one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Guides with affiliate links say so near the top.

## Our editorial promise

- We only recommend places we’ve been to or truly believe in.
- Payment never buys a positive review or a spot on a “best of” list we present as our own picks.
- Readers’ choice results come from confirmed reader votes and can’t be bought.
- Opinions are our own.

## Real estate

Erin McCormick, who writes Travel Like a Local VT, is also a licensed Vermont real estate agent. Pages about living in or moving to Vermont may point to her real estate services.
