ABOUT US
Hi, we're Allen & Daniela 👋
We're a small family in Cavendish, Vermont. We've always been comfortable building websites, and we're in love with the Vermont community. This guide is our way of celebrating it.

Why a guide?
Between ski patrol shifts, photo shoots, and raising our family in the Okemo Valley, we've gotten to know Vermont's small towns pretty well, the diners, the swimming holes, the general stores, the trails. We built this guide to share the good stuff and help our neighbors' businesses get found.
Wait - another guide? 🤔
Fair question. Here's what makes this one different:
- 🧑🌾 Hand-picked by humans who live here. Every listing is reviewed by a real Vermonter - no scraped data, no spam, no pay-to-exist.
- 💲 $1 keeps the spam out. Every listing costs a buck, one time - that's our whole spam filter, and it's why you won't find fake listings here. Every spot still gets an accurate blurb, a photo, and its street address.
- ✍️ Real stories, not just listings. Featured businesses get a full ~1,000-word story article, written with the owner's own words.
- 🔑 Own a business? Claim it for $1. Keep your blurb, contact info, and hours fresh. Go Featured ($29/year) for top placement and your story.
- 🎣 Fishing spots, researched. 24 waters across Vermont with a statewide map - plus our 🤫 secret fishing spot.
- 🏊 Swimming holes with honest safety info. 25 spots mapped, with real warnings where they matter.
- 🥾 Hiking trails and kid-friendly picks in every area, so the whole family finds something.
- 📍 Nearby search. Share your location and see what's actually close - no app needed.
- 📅 A Vermont event calendar. Hand-picked happenings from every corner of the state, refreshed every Monday.
- 💬 Testimonials, not takedowns. Happy customers can leave kind words for a business - no public 1-star pile-ons. Businesses even get a QR code to collect them.
- 💚 Built by a Vermont family, not a tech company. When you reach out, you get us.
