Loved our Shoe House stay! The house is adorable. The décor is super cute and comfortable. And the hosts have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. A fun, whimsical, and memorable experience for all ages. Many thanks!
We had a great time staying at the shoe house! The kids absolutely loved it and said it was one of their favorite parts of the trip! We would 100% stay here again
We had a great time at the shoe house for a girls weekend! We loved going into the hot tub in the snow. The coffee was stocked and we loved the home decor. Communication was great. Thanks for a wonderful time!
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!
Staying at the shoe house was a gift for my son and his family and they loved it! So much history and things to look at and also a fun game room and hot tub to boot!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Always wanted to see the inside of the shoe house! Hosts were superb! House was cozy and clean! Lots of amenities and great neighborhood! Would definitely go again!!
The Haines Shoe House is am incredible experience for all ages. Our family group age range was 5-70. We all enjoyed our stay. Lots of things to do in the area. House was meticulously maintained and furnished. Campfire under the stars and hot tub great addition to our stay.
The Shoe House was a delight and just as advertised. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the hot tub was great, the hosts were responsive and helpful. It was so much fun to say we stayed at the Shoe House and York has so much to offer. A not-so-hidden gem!
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.
Three generations of girls had a four day stay. We had an awesome time. It was well stocked, comfy and quaint. Enjoyed the history displayed throughout the house. Would definitely visit again.
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.
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!
Had a wonderful visit. Gave us the opportunity to stay in a unique home and provide fun family time. Playing games outside. Too hot for campfire but enjoyed relaxing around the fire pit. Grandchildren loved staying at the “ shoe house” and shopping for “shoe-vieners”.
