Ice house. I’ve never heard of an ice shanty. What is a shanty?

It’s a simple plywood box basically, with seats, holes in the floor, maybe a table- and a window or 2 to watch the tip-ups- a shanty basically. Nothing fancy. We do,have ice houses too which are longer, and can fit several folks, and has bunks for overnight fishing, and a few more luxuries, but most folks just build cheap ice shanties (though these days, the price of lumbar, they ain’t so cheap anymore

Think of the shanty towns during the depression. Folks lived in one room shacks with no frills- that’s basically an ice shanty too. They look like “shanty towns” when you have a bunch out on the lake together
