About Shinglehouse

Shinglehouse is a quiet borough set in a scenic valley in northwestern Potter County, right where the Oswayo River meets Honeoye Creek. The town got its memorable name back in 1806 from a log cabin built with handmade wooden shingles, which served as a landmark for early travelers. Today, it offers a relaxed rural lifestyle surrounded by rolling wooded hills and wide open spaces.
