Local birthday night at the Shoehouse

We live locally and rented for one night for my husbands birthday! The interior was decorated really cute! Unfortunately it was misting outside so we didn’t get to enjoy the fire pit, but still got to enjoy the hot tub! Great hosts, easy to check in, very accommodating! Definitely would recommend! Very unique experience!

Unique and Fun Experience for All

I’m originally from York, PA and grew up visiting the Shoehouse as a child. It was great to get to spend the weekend there and show friends and family how neat it is! The decor in the house is beautiful. The antiques and historical pieces were wonderful! The property was well-maintained and had everything you could need.

Wonderful place to stay

This home was very unique and filled with charm! We loved learning the history of Haines Shoes and the history of the Shoe House. We found the home to have all the comforts of home away from home. The home is decorated beautifully, very clean, the beds are comfortable, and the family room is wonderful for relaxing in the evening. We did not have time for the hot tub and fire pit but hope to the next time we visit.

Shoe House Anniversary Celebration

We had a fabulous weekend celebrating our 40th anniversary at the Shoe House. The house is beautifully decorated with every detail thought of by the hosts. We spent our weekend cooking together, playing games, sitting out by the fire pit and enjoying the hot tub. Sleeping accommodations are comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. The downstairs family room is where we gathered the most and having a full refrigerator, bar, and coffee station was a huge plus. We had a fabulous memorable time. The host's communication was exceptional and instructions for check in and check out were timely and clear. Don't hesitate to book a stay here!

Perfect getaway location

The five of us came from PA, CT, and MD to spend a long weekend celebrating a wedding anniversary and a birthday. The Shoe House did not disappoint! We had fun hanging out downstairs watching the Olympics, lounging in the hot tub, playing board games in the parlor, making s’mores around the fire pit, and cooking together in the kitchen. The decor was fabulous and on point. 5 Stars
