Painted Post is a compact, scenic riverside village of under 2,000 with Victorian homes, parks and a walkable downtown — a quiet, comfortable base for multi‑week contracts that still offers easy access to hikes, wineries and local weekend events.
You’re minutes from Corning — home to the world‑class Corning Museum of Glass and a lively arts and restaurant scene — and roughly 20 minutes from Elmira for bigger-city services, healthcare and shopping.
