Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

Cohocton offers different reasons to stay: the annual Fall Foliage Festival, trails through the Lawrence Parks Recreation Area, and local history around 14 Maple Avenue. You can shape your plans around a specific question: Would you like to attend a festival, explore trails along the river and through the woods, or learn more about the history of a building and the Cohocton Historical Society? A stay centered on the festival follows a different schedule from a visit focused on nature trails or historic sites.

Fall Foliage Festival

The Fall Foliage Festival began in 1966 and is held annually. The 61st edition was announced for October 3 and 4, 2026. During the festival, art, craft, flea market, antiques, and food vendors set up on the Town and Village Greens at 15 South Main Street in Cohocton. A parade was also planned for Saturday during the announced 2026 edition. The festival and parade provide a specific, date-bound reason to plan a trip. If you want to attend an upcoming edition, check its dates before planning your stay around it.

Trails and Pavilions in the Lawrence Parks Recreation Area

The trails in the Lawrence Parks Recreation Area run along the Cohocton River and through a wooded area. This makes the river and woodland distinct landscape features to enjoy outdoors. If you like to include trails in your trip, you can make this area a focus separate from the festival or historic sites. Trail conditions can change, so check them before visiting. The Recreation Area also has three pavilions available for rent. Contact the Town Clerk to check availability. Trails and pavilions address different planning needs: for a rental, pavilion availability matters; for a trail visit, it is the condition of the trails.

Another Activity: All Out Paintball

All Out Paintball adds a game option to the mix. Open “walk-on” paintball games are offered on weekends. You play with other players who are there. Since operating days can change, check the current schedule before making plans. This lets you fit the activity into a suitable visit date rather than assuming weekend days are fixed.

Local History at 14 Maple Avenue

The building at 14 Maple Avenue was built around 1882 by T. S. Crosby. It housed the Crosby Furniture Store as well as the village’s funeral rooms. The Cohocton Historical Society acquired the building in 1981. This sequence connects the date of construction with two former uses and the Society’s later acquisition. For the 2024 Steuben County Museum Trail Days, a museum trail guide listed the Cohocton Historical Society at this address for Saturday, October 19, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, October 20, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. These times are part of the 2024 announcement. If you are planning a visit today, check the current program details.
