Nhà giày, Pennsylvania Sẽ như thế nào nếu bạn sống trong một chiếc giày? Ý tưởng độc đáo này đã thành sự thật với căn nhà hình chiếc giày ở Pennsylvania. Căn nhà hình chiếc giày ở Pennsylvania này có 3 phòng ngủ, 2 phòng tắm, một bếp và một phòng khách được xây dựng bởi Mahlon N. Haines. Ngày nay, nơi này mở cửa từ tháng 6-10 để du khách tới tham quan

The owner is around frequently and is a very wonderful person to meet, it has been redone the past 2 years to be more like a museum and closer to the original state, there is a small ice cream ad baked good shop inside with a few nice souvenirs to pick from as well. Everything is baked in house and the angel food cake is GREAT, comes out fresh on Fridays last I checked and can be ordered along with cutely decorated cake pops. On a side note the owner is an old car enthusiast as well. The current running schedule First Day of Spring - Memorial Day Fri, Sat & Sun 11-5 Memorial Day - Labor Day Wed - Sat 11-7 Sun 11 - 5 Labor Day - Halloween Fri, Sat & Sun 11 - 5

I was very excited to visit the Shoe House on a recent trip to PA. However, I was disappointed when we arrived and was greeted by an overwhelming number of "No" signs. There were more signs telling you what you couldnt do than what you could and when you entered the shoe you were greeted by a curmudgeonly couple and more "No" signs. The Shoe House is a great example of adverting and a piece WWII history, but not worth the trip.

It was a great pleasure to visit this place! Competent guided tour through the very special house and its history. And a very nice, small café with real flowers on the tables and a wonderful young owner who runs this business with head and heart! If I would live in the area, I would go there very often! Definitely one of the 1000 Cafés in the world you must see in your life!

10/19/2015. Getting there was not easy when the local didnt know the location for sure and the place is not advertised. We arrived, my wife and I, eventually. Too bad we do not qualify for the honeymooners contest for we are senior citizens, but we enjoy every minute of it. I wrote about the experience to my sister and brother in Italy.

As another person mentioned, no review prior to 3/20/2015 is valid. The Shoe House is a piece of highway history. Im very glad that it is in the great hands of a couple that want future generations to enjoy the quirky house and the story of its builder. Stop in starting the first day of Spring!

The new owners are fabulous! They are doing such a great job of bringing this iconic and historic site back into the public eye and its former glory. Really nice people. And the tours are so informative and enjoyable! Also the ice cream is delicious! Definitely stop by if youre in the area!

This is one of the best roadside attractions in America! An architectural wonder and worth the low cost price to tour. They also have an ice cream parlor which serves a local ice cream. Staff and tour guides are super friendly and willing to entertain any questions our group had.

America used to be full of this kind of strange but fun roadside attractions. A little hard to get to from the main road but worth it for good ice cream and a fun tour. The whole family will enjoy a visit to the 1940s artifact of an entrepreneurs mind.

The owner was working and was unbelievably nice and fun. The inside and outside have been recently redone and are very nice, and everything is very clean. Great ice cream and all of the baked goods are home made. Definitely will be coming back.
