We had a wonderful stay at Avocado Abode! The place was very nice, clean, comfortable, and had everything we could possibly need to feel at home. We especially loved the bookshelf with the “leave a book, take a book” concept. There was a great variety of books for both kids and adults, which was such a thoughtful touch.Everything was very clean and well taken care of, and we really enjoyed our stay. The only issue we noticed was a few spiders downstairs in the area where the kids slept. Hopefully, that can be addressed, as otherwise everything was great.Overall, we would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Avocado Abode!

Our family of 5 loved our stay at Avocado Abode! The house was spotless and stocked with all the essentials - even fans in all the bedrooms which is a must for us! Our boys loved the basement area with the bunk beds and the fully stocked bookshelf on the main level. Check-in and check-out was simple. Location of the house was perfect and very close to groceries, coffee and restaurants. Do ask for the additional tips from the host! We ate at several of the recommended restaurants and they were all wonderful - our favorite was Gunsight Saloon!

Fantastic place to stay in Columbia Falls

Couldn’t have asked for a better home and setup for our full week in Columbia falls / Glacier natl park. Great communication from start to finish by our hosts and it was the perfect place for our family of five and our dog. Lots of thought put into the home and ensuring all was perfect. Thanks again!

Everything was exactly as shown in the VRBO listing. It was clean and everything was in order with plenty of space for our family to enjoy it while we visited glacier national park. Columbia Falls is a cute little town. There are places to get coffee and breakfast and dinner not far from the house. The owners were very responsive when we asked any questions. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and the neighbors closest were very nice.

We really enjoyed our stay & wish we had scheduled more down time at the house. Plenty of space for all 6 of us, house was well-stocked and clean, with books, games, places to store clothes, comfortable beds. Loved having the outdoor picnic table and chairs. Easy drive to Glacier NP, Whitefish, and nearby airport. The owner provided tons of information about local restaurants and notes about visiting the national park and was very responsive. Would definitely return.

Perfect homebase for 2 families!

Avocado Abode was a fantastic landing pad for our two families (4 adults, 4 kids). Everything was perfectly arranged, clean, and exactly as listed. Communication from Darren and Leslie was fantastic and responsive, they anticipated all of our needs. We greatly enjoyed the lovely backyard and yard toys, and the basement bunk room was perfect for our kids. They were smitten with the avocados! Highly recommend!

Darren & Leslie were wonderful hosts! The house was close to everything we needed and wanted to see, and it was clean a comfortable with anything we could need while staying there. We went into Whitefish for dinner, hiked Avalanche Lake (in a downpour), and grilled out back when we returned. They even had a boot warmer to dry our shoes before we headed home. We were visiting with Family and the kids loved having “their own level” in the basement. Could not recommend this home enough! Thank you for making such a wonderful place to stay and make great memories! *pictures of us cozy on the couch with fresh coffee after our rainy hike & all the guest made it to Avalanche Lake!

Great stay!

The Avocado house was the perfect property for us! We came to enjoy the National Park and this was the perfect home base. We had 8 people, a baby and a very small dog. There were plenty of beds for all. The young adults loved the downstairs space. It was super clean and remodeled exactly as specified in the listing. We used the bikes, the fire pit for snores and had an enough space to just chill. The master bedroom and bath were amazing.The hosts were very quick to respond to all our needs. Hope to return soon!
