A giant, 3-bedroom shoe is one of Pennsylvania’s hottest rentals

PHILADELPHIA — If sleeping in a 1,400-square-foot work boot is on your 2023 vision board, head west to York County.

The Haines Shoe House, built in 1949 as a marketing tool for a local shoe store, has been spruced up and is available to rent. The home features three bedrooms, 2½ baths, and a hot tub, out back. The shoe’s new owners, Naomi and Waylon Brown, bought the property in the summer for $355,000 and set to fixing it up. It opened for rentals on VRBO.com in November.

“We were the first guests to stay and test it out,” Naomi Brown told The Inquirer on Friday. “I celebrated my 40th birthday there with my sisters.”
