Perfect base camp for exploring!
My husband, myself and my daughter spent 5 wonderful nights in the Avocado Abode. The owners have done a fantastic job of bringing this 100 year old home back to life. Very quiet neighborhood…felt totally safe. The home itself has everything you might need. Super cute and comfy. I will definitely stay here again!

Fantastic
The house was so nice and comfortable with lots of conveniences. Perfect location for our stay to visit Glacier NP. It is conveniently located with a short drive to the park. The owners were fantastic in responding to a request. We strongly recommend staying here.

The Avocado Abode is Awesome!
We just got back from a week visiting GNP. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Avocado Abode! All communications with Darren were clear and helpful. He’s a very nice person who wanted our stay to be great. Check-in was simple, as was check-out. The house was VERY well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. We didn’t even have to buy condiments or paper products. The house/beds were clean and comfortable. The location worked very well for us. The drive to GNP was easy. We enthusiastically recommend The Avocado Abode!

About the host

Hosted by Darren & Leslie

Host profile image
Hi! We are Darren & Leslie! VRBO Premier Hosts! When you book a reservation with us, you speak to us. The owners! We don't contract that out to someone that doesn't know us, and doesn't put in the dedication we do! When you have questions or need something, your message comes straight to us! Darren has 3 generations of family that moved, worked, lived, loved the state of Montana. My great grandfather, Austin Hooper, owned a saw mill in Lincoln, MT in the 1920's and he was involved in local government. My mother and sister were born here. We visit Montana often and could not wait to make our purchase in Flathead Valley! Columbia Falls is the center of your adventure, quiet outside the doorstep, but within 2-20 minutes of everything you may want to see! The photo of Leslie and I was taken in Glacier National Park, 25 minutes from the driveway. I'm available via VRBO message throughout the day! I typically respond within 20 minutes! Our entire goal is that you have a wonderful experience, where you cannot wait to return, or tell a friend about the Avocado Abode in Columbia Falls, Montana! If you are fortunate enough to drive in from out of state, the drive to the house north of I-90 (St. Regis, MT) to the home feels like you're driving through a national forest that continues on and on!

Why they chose this property

The Avocado Abode is a unique, and wonderful Montana experience! Leslie and I are proud to say we are Premier Hosts, and we are licensed and insured to host you, the CORRECT way. Many rentals are illegal in Montana.... The Avocado Abode is 100% legal to host! The neighbors are inviting, and are extremely kind. We've become friends! The house has old restored charm from1926 with the arched livingroom, and its freshly milled and cut custom wood working that you see on the front eves of the house and the shop which came from Eureka, Montana! The patio rock and even the crushed gravel are from local rock quarry's! The rock walkway took 1 month to complete!
Over 150k dollars was spent inside and out, making the home interior, exterior, all new wiring, paint, flooring, rock work, roof, and brand new master bath suite addition, a success! The house and shop share the same new windows, paint, trim, woodwork and custom rock base wall. We did not want to offer used outdated items in our premier listing. You'll find that nearly EVERYTHING in the home is new.
RV/travel trailer/snowmobile trailer 30' trailer + longbed truck, will fit on the gravel of the west side of the house! We offer a full kitchen, 3 types of coffee, cremes sugars, alternatives, as well as Avocado Abode, Montana made soap, just for you! New beds, new mattresses, plush pillows, new sheets, pillow covers and cases, HD smart TV's.... We wanted to make the house a popular attraction from its charm, its new furnishings, a secure place to store your trailer, mountain bikes, dirtbikes, side by side, fishing boat, PWC's, snowmobiles, and maybe even your hunting gear. We built a work shop bench so that if you're here and need a place to perform a fix or maintenance, that's an availability as well! We also have set the house up so that if you're travelling to get away from the busy city and want to soak up Montana vibes, you'll be perfectly happy in the house without leaving! Kids as well! See our reviews!

What makes this property unique

Read our reviews! Kids and parents alike LOVE the "ABOCADO HOUSE" as kids say. The moment you enter the home, or drive down the driveway, you see the property is quirky. Its unique. We invite you to make it your own. Besides the colors, the raw woodworking, we love the thick walls, the 2x6 boards that were used for the floors underneath the wood flooring. The arched doorways. The large bookshelf that we've transformed into a "take a book, leave a book" library. And the master bath is wonderful!
Showing the original, almost 100 year old charm. The house is set up in a way so that if you're travelling with kids, the downstairs den is a large bedroom and "hang out" it has a small reading relaxing nook area, and a bigger den area. We dont mention the den often, but one guest said it should be highlighted! Love reading down there! The house offers a bit of a "kids downstairs, adults upstairs" vibe. If you're travelling with all adults, the twin beds downstairs are ADULT mattresses, and the bright blue couch converts to a queen hide a bed. The den has a 43" 4K HD smart TV, all bedrooms and living room have HD smart TV's. The master bath suite offers a large jacuzzi jet tub for relaxing after a day of fun experiences. Enter the home in the summer, to an air conditioned upstairs! We are at 3,100 feet in elevation! The home has AC installed from May 1st to October 1st of every year. It has no need for AC the other half of the year. In the winter, the house will be nice and toasty thanks to a NEST thermostat! If you prefer a warmer house or a cooler house, you can message me before your arrival and I can remotely set that for you! Up to 2 well behaved, and floor sleeping, dogs are allowed to stay in the home! You will receive an additional message from us, if booking with dogs. A simply acknowledgement, no contract! No dogs downstairs (we have a baby gate at the top of the stairs). No unattended doggies at the house please! We want you to have a blast with us!
