Summary: There was an old lady who stayed in a shoe. It was so adorable, she didnt know what to do! She took her hub, her daughter, and grand. All were happy as a clam.
Karen H. Aug 11, 2025 02:58:28 AM
Summary: 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

Summary: My boys and I love the shoe! As soon as we leave, we look forward to our next visit! We just completed our 3rd annual shoe adventure!

Summary: Amazing stay! Owners very polite.
Paula D. May 27, 2025 02:32:34 AM
Summary: 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.

Summary: My 3 sister in laws and myself have talked about spending some time together. Now that we are all retired it finally was going to happen and what better place than in a shoe. I have looked at the Shoe House for years from Route 30 on my way to visit my sister in law in Lancaster. I had actually stopped and got ice cream with my future daughter in law on our way back from a family wedding. She actually was the one that called and told me that it was on VRBO for rent. It had everything we needed- Sleeping for 6, kitchen, big family room and even a hot tub and fire pit area. The house is magical. There are beautiful stained glass windows, renovated interiors and it’s cozy without feeling crowded. It exceeded our expectations and we had a wonderful time. I especially enjoyed all the history and old photographed displayed everywhere. It’s wonderful for a family with kids and even for 4 old ladies in a shoe. Thank you to the hosts for a one in a million opportunity to enjoy a truly one of a kind property.

Summary: This was a great overnight in a cute spot that we have seen along the higheay for years. Glad our fanily was finally able to check it out!
Lauren Z. Apr 20, 2025 11:06:39 PM
Summary: My wife has been dying to sleep in the shoe for 30 years. She nearly died when she discovered her birthday surprise of a weekend in the shoe house. We had so much fun doing shoe themed activities and eating foot/shoe themed things. I think it's so much fun to be able to say we slept in a shoe. We had an absolute blast!
Amy G. Apr 16, 2025 02:40:46 AM
Summary: 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!
