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.

The property was exactly as represented and pictured. Our family ranged in age from 2 to 75 and we were all very comfortable. We cooked a lot, the grocery was very convenient and the kitchen was well stocked with multiple pans, utensils, etc and plenty of dishes. Lovely back yard to enjoy in the summer, overall a delightful experience. My husband is all ready talking about "next year"!

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!

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! We will stay again for sure when we return.

Wonderful place to stay

We stayed here for 2 nights for Glacier National Park. Had a great stay. Everything was as described in the listing. The hosts are very thoughtful and everything we needed was in the home. Thoughtful touches throughout the home like flashlights, fans, and even bear spray to borrow. Good communication.

Amazing Avacado Abode

This adorable house is perfect for families, especially those with children!! There are lots of games, books and yard activities. The location is amazing for traveling to all surrounding areas and/or outdoor activities, whether you want to hike trails or have fun at the lakes! The hosts are amazing and respond quickly! My kids will forever talk about the “Avacado house” and the core memories we made staying in it.

We loved this house and it was perfect for our stay. The house is very clean and comfortable and has everything. We felt right at home. The location is great, in a nice neighborhood and a short drive to the Glacier National Park entrance. It is within walking distance of a couple restaurants. The hosts are extremely helpful, responsive, and provided information on the house and area. We will definitely stay here again.

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.

Gateway to Glacier!

We were super pleased with everything about the Avocado Abode! We rented the place to visit both Glacier National Park and Whitefish and it was the perfect location. Just minutes from the West Entrance of the park and a short, easy drive into Whitefish. We rode touring bikes to explore the park, and we absolutely loved the big 2 car garage! The home was very nicely stocked with kitchen items and pretty much everything you'd need to cook with. The couch and beds and linens were nice and comfy and the driveway and property was super accommodating for the vehicles. Location was super awesome to a couple great restaurants (Backslope was amazing and the breakfast at Columbia Bar on Sunday was inexpensive but really superb). Communication with the owners was top notch. I really can't think of a single bad thing to share, it was truly a great place. THANK YOU!!!!!!

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!
