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, 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.
