The Original Ice House- History at its Finest only 1 Block to Elk Avenue!

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.

Walking distance from Elk Avenue (one block) and all the restaurants and activities in town. One and a half blocks to the free ski shuttle- you and your family can ride free and be dropped next to the lifts and back home in no time! 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.

A nonrefundable $250 Dog fee is required if you bring your furry friend. We will allow a 2nd dog for an additional $50. You must notify us in advance.

You can't beat it! Incredible stay
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.

Location, location, location!
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!

Best Crested Butte home rental!
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.
