About this property
THE GOOD PLACE - Uptown Westerville's Premier Vacation Home - Colorful & Cozy
Welcome to THE GOOD PLACE! Your vibrant, restful retreat haven awaits you in Columbus, OH's northeastern suburb of Westerville.
Walkable Uptown Westerville exudes small-town nostalgia with all the benefits of Columbus' urban scene.
---
THE GOOD PLACE:
- 3 bedrooms with super comfy, premium mattresses (one KING, one QUEEN, and one BUNK with TWIN mattresses). When it's nice out, feel free to sleep in the fresh air on the day bed in the screened-in porch.
- Soft, 100% organic cotton LANE LINEN brand sheets. Luxury hotel-feel and ethically made with Fair Trade Practices.
- Kitchen is dopamine-boosting and popping with happy colors. We have coffee and tea here for you, a toaster, oven, hot water microwave. Please enjoy the FORGED GERMAN STAINLESS STEEL KNIVES, pots and pans and baking sheets to harness your inner Gordon Ramsay...
...OR...walk 10 minutes to one of the many nearby Uptown Westerville restaurants LISTED DOWN BELOW.
- Bathroom is beautiful. Open shelving stocked with towels, washcloths and WHO GIVES A CRAP toilet paper (comfy, eco-friendly and reduces deforestation).
- Family GAMES in the living room cabinet.
- One story ranch. 3 steps up to enter front door.
- Spectrum WiFi available throughout the home.
- Large 50" LED 4K UHD SMART TV in living room for streaming Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, etc.
- Comfortable, gorgeous POLY + BARK SECTIONAL SOFA. Perfect spot to stream your favorite show.
- MARSHALL bluetooth speaker (so good) for all your music, podcast or audiobooks. I highly recommend you try "Sleeping at Last" on Spotify for some peaceful, lush music. My favorite song is "Saturn".
- YAMAHA GUITAR (please play it with care, but play it as much as you'd like!!) hanging on the living room wall.
- All bedrooms have CHARGING CABLES for phones.
- BUNK room has a SOUND MACHINE with 15 different sound options.
- 3 BOX FANS for those who like noise / air circulation while you sleep deeply.
- HIGH CHAIR and PACK & PLAY for infants.
- WEBER GRILL out back for BBQ.

WALKABLE (10 MINUTES) UPTOWN RESTAURANTS:
WALKABLE (10 MINUTES) UPTOWN RESTAURANTS + COFFEE:

About the host
Hosted by Jacob Howell
We (Jacob and Pami) live locally with our kids and THE GOOD PLACE has been a dream for a long time.
Jacob loves outside adventures, motorcycling and spending time singing and playing piano with his friends.
Pami loves plants (especially succulents), making old spaces look beautiful, and reading vast amounts of books.
When we have downtime from kids sports and activities, we take our old popup camper to the wonderful state parks in Ohio (and soon beyond).
We hope to host you soon at THE GOOD PLACE!
