Small Town, Big Discoveries

Being a small town doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do or nowhere to eat. Quite the opposite. From the prize-winning bakery Sweet Desires to the “floating” winery Floating Vine, and the flavorful Los Catrines Mexican Kitchen to the hometown comfort of 3C’s Diner and the upscale Primrose Restaurant, there’s something to satisfy every appetite.

Coffee Trough offers great coffee, drinks, and bakery treats. The Main Scoop is an ice cream shop offering classic and seasonal flavors, sundaes, and fountain drinks. One standout is Fire & Salt Co., a downtown meat shop specializing in local beef and supplying nearby restaurants—truly a destination of its own. Most of these spots are located right on Main Street, where you’ll also find a variety of charming, unique shops.

Corning also boasts Lake Icaria, a 650-acre gem perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Enjoy fishing for bass, walleye, bluegill, crappie, and more, or take to the water with pontoon and kayak rentals from Bobbers Down Marina. With a beach, picnic shelters, and nearby hiking trails, Lake Icaria offers the perfect mix of recreation and relaxation just minutes from your stay.
