Excellent stay, so unique! We loved the blending of original and retro style with updated amenities! Did not check out the hot tub because it was too cold, but game room/living area was a hit, beds were comfortable, and kitchen (although small) was well equipped.

We had such a unique and memorable stay at the Haines Shoe House in York! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how charming and well-maintained everything was. The house itself is such a fun and one-of-a-kind experience—our group couldn’t stop talking about how cool it was to actually stay inside a landmark.The space was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed. The hosts clearly put a lot of care into making guests feel welcome, and it showed in all the little details. It was the perfect mix of quirky and cozy.The location was also great—peaceful and relaxing, yet still close to everything we needed in the York area. Whether you’re looking for a fun getaway, a family trip, or something totally different, this is definitely a place we’d recommend.We’re so glad we had the chance to stay here and would absolutely come back again!

ToeTal fun...unique house with fun themed items back to the future decor. We celebrated a 6th birthday at the picnic tables by the firepit and it was great! We visited many years ago when it was a museum ice cream shop...and so happy this special house became a rental destination to enjoy with or without grandkids...but more fun to see the kids faces ..who now know the old lady who lived in a shoe did know what to do. The kids were impressed.

What a charming and memorable stay to celebrate my mother’s 80th birthday. In the midst of snow, winds, and below zero temps, we stayed cozy just absorbing all the historic details and relics in the home— from the books, articles, to antique rotary phone and phonograph, there was plenty to take in. We cooked in and found all the supplies needed, then had a fantastic night of sleep in the well- appointed bedrooms.

The Shoe fit!

Our stay in this delightful Shoehouse 14-!6 July 2025 was certainly a memorable relaxing treat. You have certainly thought of and met our every need. Beds comfortable, ac adjustable, linens plentiful---even make-up removable cloths. Loved the former ice cream parlor downstairs area (where I had enjoyed previously) as we played board games with tea and Keurig coffees and the convenience of yet another bathroom there. We are fond of shopping nearby in Intercourse and Bird in Hand, PA and truly enjoyed a VERY good meal at First Post (thanks for recommendation in your Guest book). Have shared photos of the SHOE with many and highly recommend they take advantage as sure they would enjoy the history of Mr. Haines" generosity, period pieces books, magazine, records, appliances ( many of which bring back fond memories. Recently saw The Shoe House featured on HGTV and knew it had won the plaque on the living room wall for its charming uniqueness. TOTALLY LOVED!! Karen Hannen, Gainesville, VA

Family get together

Had a wonderful time staying at the cozy shoehouse as we took a couple days to reunite with family after moving out of state. Spent 23 years in York visiting the shoe from time to time. It was very nostalgic inside and outside of the shoe. Unlike practically all shoes, this one did not stink.
