About the host
Hosted by Kyle Brown

We are local residents who love the history and charm of the Shoe House!
Why they chose this property
This property has a long history and love from the community. The Shoe House was built in 1949 by a Shoe Store Retailer. He was very generous and was always giving to the local community. The builder, Mahlon Haines would raffle off stays in the Shoe House to newlyweds and couples on their Anniversary. The Shoe House was donated to his employees before he died, and the legacy of giving to the community lives on is welcoming guests to the Shoe House!
What makes this property unique
Part of the Unique aspect of the Shoe is the legacy that is embodies. Hosting people to enjoy the fun and unique features of the Shoe House was why it was built in the 1950's. That long standing legacy makes the Shoe House unique among stays, as well as the many amazing and fun features the Shoe Shines with!
