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 happy...we have coffee here for you, a toaster and microwave and pots and pans 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).

- 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 rooms have CHARGING CABLES for phones.

- BUNK room has a small wooden SOUND MACHINE.

Great location and beautifully decorated

We were in town for a short stay during our Son’s spring break. We loved the location and the house. So cozy and fenced area in backyard would be perfect for dogs. Great communication with any questions we had.

Close to everything in Westerville!

Great location with great hosts. Minor question at check in that was quickly resolved and gift card given to Graeters for the minor inconvenience. Being from the area, and coming home and staying at such a great location, made the trip easy and relaxing!!

Cute, trendy and comfy!

Everything is accurate as imaged! This place is super cute & the artwork is perfect for the chosen decor, paint, and accessories. Beds are clean and comfy as is the rest of the furniture. The kitchen is well stocked & we greatly appreciated the stocked coffee area so we were able to make coffee in the morning. I'd recommend a new shower liner, but outside of that, everything was great! Showers were still hot after multiple showers in a row. Highly recommend this place & our only regret was that we couldn't stay for a little longer :)

Home away from home

Had a lovely stay at The Good Place. The home is well decorated and stocked with everything you could need during your stay. We appreciated the small fenced in yard for our dog to run around in. House is located in a great area. Highly recommend! We’ll definitely be back when needing a house to stay at in Columbus.

Charming and Cozy

The Good Place is so good! Comfortable, clean, and charming...the decor fun and interesting! Really felt right at home and relaxed after a busy day spent with my daughter and new grandson. Coffee, phone chargers, king-sized bed so appreciated! My little dogs enjoyed the grassy areas around the home. Thanks for providing The Good Place!

Great house and excellent host

Friends all met in Westerville, Ohio for a wedding celebration and we all loved this house. Owner was outstanding in terms of communicating with us and the house was exceptionally clean, very comfortable and charming. Best VRB or Air B&B experience I have had. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Jacob Howell

Host profile image
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!

Why they chose this property

We live locally and absolutely LOVE Westerville. Our town is vibrant and has so much to do, with wonderful dining, drinks, a bike trail (part of the Ohio to Erie Trail), metro park for nature and hiking, lakes, parks, and so much more. It is an extremely family-friendly community and has easy access to all that Columbus, OH has to offer.

What makes this property unique

The vibe at THE GOOD PLACE is like no other. We designed it with extreme attention to detail in the decor, comfort and a supreme guest experience in mind. It is beautiful vibrant, happy, fun, cozy, modern and is walkable to the heart of Uptown Westerville.
