Staying at the Haines Shoe House was a surprise bit of fun for us. We didn't know about it, but only found out about it a few weeks ago. The accuracy of the restoration, the details in the interior, the special decor, all worked together to create a wonderful experience for us. The interior was super clean, the beds were super comfy, and all the personal touches to make it feel like a home (in the 50s and the 2020s) were there. The hosts made check in and check out really easy. Hopefully we can come back again soon.

Perfect and unique!
The Shoe House was the perfect stay for our anniversary. This is a historical gem you don’t want to miss! So much history and nostalgia exists within the property, it is on amazing grounds, and the hot tub is piping hot! Perfect for relaxing on a crisp fall night! Plus, how cool is it that you get to say you stayed in a shoe!!! The owners/host were super responsive, no issues with access, and the shoe had all of the amenities we needed and more! Super comfy bed. Thanks for recognizing first responders and veterans too! Highly, highly recommend!

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.

We loved this experience in The Shoe! Totally amazing weekend with group of girl friends! Clean and comfortable with lots of amenities. Enjoyed using the fire pit to make s’mores (we brought our own firewood) and the hot tub to hang out and relax. The sunflower field was a surprise bonus. Thank you for the unique and historical opportunity.

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

Fabulous Stay!
My two sisters, mom, and I were lucky enough to get to stay in the shoe house! It was so cute and well-appointed. (Pictures do not do it justice!) The shoe was a great home base as we visited York, Gettysburg, and Lititz. We would definitely stay there again!

Our 2 day stay
Our grandchildren were thrilled with our stay. They thought the house was "so cool!" They were so excited when they 'discovered' the basement as well, because we looked through the house initially to decide who was sleeping where so I'd forgotten about the basement. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed playing some of the records from back in 'our day.' We also enjoyed somores at the fire pit. Thank you for a memorable time!!

What a Bootiful Home. We had a Heel of a time!
Everything about the home was so well thought out. A lot of care & attention went into decorating the home as well as the owners cared about our stay. They ensured we had everything we needed. They were great at communication. They made us feel like we mattered. The home is magical. It allowed for us to create some very special memories. Not only that, they do an excellent job giving the history of the home & do so in a way that it is exciting and fun to learn about. And it is a history most of us never knew before. Our stay was a sock-cress and I would highly recommend staying here. It is more than worth it!
