This charming little house has lots of character. It's quaint & cozy and conveniently located to Main Street. We loved the town of Crested Butte. So many amazing little shops and restaurants that we could walk to. The house itself felt like it could use a deep clean. With sloped ceilings and lots of nooks and crannies, if you are over 6' tall, it's probably not the best place for you. We needed more warm blankets and basics like wine glasses would have been nice. But at the end of the day, we were there to ski. We had so much fun as a family skiing and snowmobiling in God's country. The scenery is breathtaking. I did voice my concerns to the property manager (we were there during high season I wasn't expecting the Ritz Carlton but the house was quite expensive considering) they were receptive and kind regarding our concerns. Would I stay again? Absolutely... we created lots of memories and had some great laughs! And truly- you can't beat the location!

Amazing cabin with so many interesting details to match the history of the home. Perfect location for walking to Elk St and our favorite Camp4Coffee! We loved the deck and creek side seating areas. The fireplace was cozy and heated floors were just right! I felt like I was staying in a friend’s home. Definitely will recommend and return again. Thank you Brown family for sharing your wonderful home.

Cozy home with lots of character
We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Perfect location and we'd love to come back in the summer and enjoy the back yard and creek. There was about 5' of snow all around the house, but drive and paths were shoveled out when we arrived. The heated floors did an incredible job keeping the house warm and cozy. I loved learning the history of the property and of the two log cabins.
The kitchen was reasonably well equipped and, other than not being able to find any trash bags after we took out the trash on Thursday, we seemed to have everything we needed and then some. The owners are obviously big collectors of things, so there's lots of stuff lying around and collecting dust. My only complaint is that the property seems to be in need of a deep clean behind and under things and possibly some fresh bed linens. The upstairs loft was perfect for kids, but the stairs would definitely be a bit tricky to navigate for older adults. I hate to be critical though because overall it really was a perfect place for us and we probably would stay again.

Great!
This wonderful cabin really captures rustic mystique. The outside property is simply extraordinary. This is more than a value and is certainly an adventure.
Be aware of the sunken master bedroom. This tight space is no place to safely wander in the dark. We discovered a way to cool off this too warm sleeping space by turning down the thermostat, cracking a back door and opening wide a window to finally allow outside air to cool us off.
Please folks: we guests are paying dearly – how about clear, quick communication of address, door code and Wi-Fi info? Email, text or VRBO message works. They leave it for you to find a notebook that looks like a local tourist guide (for the Wi-Fi), etc. Even a document on the frig would work.
This very special property is ideally located away from the bustle of Crested Butte but still very convenient to nearby shops and restaurants.

Overall from the time we got there we had problems. The hot water heaters for both showers are old & no long showers for more than 5 minutes before getting cold.
The house had Arman hammer baking soda boxes all through out the house. This was supposed to kill the smell of the dead small animals in the wall

Great cabin feel
The property is in a get location so we could walk to town and the free shuttle to the slopes. All fell in love with the heated floors and the funkiness of the house. Even our 4 month old puppy was right at home with the outdoor deck and fenced in yard. Looking at going back in the Summer for some warm weather adventures.

We had a wonderful 2 week stay at the Ice House. The house is large with 3 floors. The main floor has a couple of steps up and down to master bedroom and main living. We had a toddler so rented a toddler fencing devise that made it all work well. The location to town is perfect. And we could even do easy hikes in nature without getting in the car. The reason for 4 stars on cleanliness is simply because there are allot of memorabilia in the house so some dust and a few small spider webs. Nothing that would keep us from staying here again. Oh and the yard is awesome. It is fenced with 3 sitti g areas!

Fun House!
We had a fun time staying in the Ice House. The location is wonderful with very easy access to Elk St. The thermostat was a bit tricky and the heated floors were nice, but there were no instructions on how to turn them on and off. As a result we were either very warm or freezing, but it was not enough to ruin our stay. I think the biggest complaint was the lighting. The main level where the kitchen is locates was very dark and it made cooking a challenge. Again though... not enough to ruin our trip. We would stay here again as the good far outweighed the bad. There is a great yard for playing in the snow which we all enjoyed. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed to prepare meals. Overall this is a great house.

Location great for access to City
Location and communication was great. Kitchen was well equipped. My one complaint would be the towels and linens are in dire need of replacement. Blankets and sheets in master were not nice and gray towels had bleach stains on most.

It’s ALL location...
Roomy and Rustic place in old town that met the needs of two families. The kitchen was well stocked (pots, pans, Baker dishes, crock pot!) & plenty of extra blankets & towels if needed. We had a couple of issues that were addressed promptly & professionallly by the property management company. I would stay here again without reservations.

We absolutely loved The Ice House. Perfect location. Comfortable and soooo much character.
Will be our place to stay in CB!! Cool house with plenty of room. Comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. Bus stop a block away takes you directly to resort. Better than staying on mountain as you have access to downtown CB walking.

Cozy Winter Wonderland
I had the pleasure of spending Thanksgiving with my family at the ice house. Located in a great location, we could easily walk for coffee, drinks, or to the shops on Elk Ave. The house itself is extremely interesting, as it was built from two log cabins relocated from a nearby location and filled with eclectic decor. It’s fully stocked to prepare big meals and host board game nights. We were able to bring our dogs and the backyard was perfectly accommodating. I highly recommend staying here if you have the opportuntity.

Fun place, plenty of space and great location.
All was good - except there was one bed on third floor that looked as if it was slept in - the first floor bath floor was dirty and I needed to scrub it. Think you might need to check on the cleaning staff.

Rooms had dust & cob webs above beds. -not pleasant . shower not finished??
We enjoyed fireplace but heat came on at @2:00anm and we could not breath upstairs. Parking ok and a nice man blew snow out of drive Dover could get the truck out to drive around. Skiing was great a little cold and cloudy in the first day an Christmas but wonderful other days. Bus worked well. Friendly shops were enjoyed. Nice art too. Will pick a newer house better bathrooms & gas stove next time
