This 1860's rustic log cabin (Crested Butte's original Ice House) is set among huge cottonwood trees with Coal Creek running right past the deck. 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.

The adobe wood burning fireplace is the center of attraction in the living/game room area. Nowhere can you experience the atmosphere of historic Crested Butte in such a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Great house to stay in
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2025
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.
