The Ca BIN
Step into a warm, welcoming silo that feels like home. The main floor features a cozy living area with a pullout couch (sleeps 2) and rustic decor, anchored by a full kitchen with a full-size fridge, stove, microwave, and everything you need to cook up a feast. The downstairs bedroom offers a luxurious California king bed (sleeps 2) with plush linens for restful nights. Upstairs, the airy loft boasts a queen pullout couch (sleeps 2) and stunning picture windows that frame breathtaking woodland views—perfect for spotting birds or stargazing. Two bathrooms—one with a refreshing shower, the other, the most luxurious soaker tub—keep things easy for groups. With additional bedding (like air mattresses), this silo comfortably sleeps up to eight. Enjoy meals on the private deck or gather around the outdoor fire pit for evening memories.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.

The property was just as the pictures showed and more! What an amazingly unique VRBO experience! Perfect setup for our family and college boys, with pullout couches and multiple tv’s to watch all the football games. Drake was an extremely attentive host and was quick to answer our questions/concerns. We have family that lives in town and we will definitely be retuning to the BIN for our future stays in Charleston!!!

We had an amazing stay! The host was outstanding, answered all questions immediately. The two sofa beds were the most comfortable sofa beds I have ever slept on. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We were provided with so many pillows,sheets, and blankets, that we did not need to bring any of our own. We loved our stay and this home. Can't wait to go back!

This a unique, comfortable place to stay. Peaceful, modern cabin in a quiet area of the woods. Yet, so close to walking trails, parks, and restaurants. We loved this place! We will be back!
