Now here is a unique Ice Castle that just went home today. An 8'x17' with a wood burned pine interior from the factory, we gave this Castle our signature 2 coats of water based semi-gloss clear.

We are now scheduling spring 2026 projects! March and April are always crazy busy at MCC, so message us today to reserve your spot between fishing and camping seasons.

Thanks Shane for supporting my small, family-owned business.

We have established the practice of sharing final project photos on our page, followed by walk-through videos on our YouTube channel.

However, to drive some more engagement here on the page, we will begin uploading select walk-through videos directly to Facebook as well.

Here is a video showcasing our recent "The Rodfather" project, featuring our signature two-coat clear finish on Cedar.

We have a limited number of spots available for clearcoating in December. Feel free to message us to secure your spot on the schedule before the season arrives!

The two-tone transformation is complete in this 2026 Ice Castle! 🚨

This brand new Ice Castle Fish House 8'x22' Custom RV Edition with a pine interior came to us for our premium two-tone staining. We used a Carbon Gray stain and a semi-gloss clearcoat, making this shack the ultimate luxury home on the ice.

With many hours of tedious attention to detail, this house turned out really nice. Thanks to Kenny and his family for supporting our small business now that this has become my full time job. We hope you enjoy your ice fishing seasons making many fun memories in your new fish house.

We sent this nice build from Ice Castle back to its loving home this past week!

As a house that has a couple of seasons of family enjoyment under its "belt", this castle needed some sanding work before we applied our Silver Package clearcoating. It sure looks sharp now! It is ready for many more years of enjoyment.

We appreciate the business! Thank you so much!
