If we could give higher than a 5, we would. We are a party of six who have traveled together for more than a few years and we all rated this stay as our most memorable!! The beds were comfortable, the rooms were very clean, the kitchen is small but it is an absolutely grand room. The kitchen is very well stocked and the decor is absolutely beautiful. The memories this place evoked are so entertaining. Please stay - you will never regret one moment of staying in this wonderful getaway. The host is excellent - very kind, very responsive - what a joy!!!!!!

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.

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.

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!
