The home boasts all the modern conveniences and the sunken floors are heated by radiant in-floor heat that warms the entire house. There are four bedrooms, each unique, 2 baths, three TV's, and a lounge that sits away from the main living area that is perfect for the kids or an office.

    We've stayed the Ice House twice in two years. Very cozy, with lots of character and historical charm (and all the pros and cons that implies). There's no other place like it. If you want to feel like you're staying in old Crested Butte, this is the place. Superb location one block south of Elk and one block west of the Old Town Hall shuttle stop. Super convenient.

    The house was the perfect place to stay, walking distance to downtown, plenty of parking at the house. Quiet and very cool place

    Fabulous experience at this house with our family! House is located within walking distance to everything in Crested Butte & sits right on the river surrounded by towering trees. Absolutely Beautiful!

    Beautiful historic home in a fantastic location. Only two blocks from Elk Ave (Main Street), this was a great post-Labor Day retreat location for a guys mountain bike trip. Great outdoor patio and right on the creek, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay The only issues we had were the internet was a bit slower than for a big city (but it did handle the streaming demands we put on the system, it just took an extra second to get rolling) and the upstairs bedrooms had lower than average roofline. Overall, very understandable considering the location and age of the house.

    There were way too many antique items. The inside was junked with old furniture and just made the entire house cluttered. The goat mount was distasteful in the living room. There was no description of the third floor with the dormer bedroom, the stairs are steep, and no description of the 2nd bathroom with low ceiling. Plenty of kitchenware and towels. The grill could use upgrade for the money spent. Location was great with just a few minutes of walking to downtown shops and restaurants.

    My husband and I couldn't have found a better place to stay on our most recent visit to Crested Butte. The ambience what bar none. The Ice House had such a unique and comfortable feel. Like coming back home to a cozy, familial place. I would recommend this stay to anyone and everyone. Excellent.

    Super cozy, rambling old place with just enough modern updates to make for a comfortable stay. Perfect location. Already thinking about staying again.

    The home is wonderful! Old world charm, with all necessary modern conveniences, it perfectly represents Crested Butte’s unique architectural history. Ideal location with easy walking distance to center of town. Everyone in my family loved it. We hope to return someday.
