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!

The CaBIN is nothing short of amazing. Beautiful location not too far from local stores and restaurants. The inside is spacious and beautifully decorated. The owners made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Hospitality at it's finest. 100% recommend!

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!

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!!!

I have stayed in many VRBO properties, but this absolutely was amazing! The property is secluded and private and beautiful, and the building itself is a wonder! Everything was top-notch, super clean, tons of amenities, and the father/son who made this as a labor of love, could not have been kinder and more responsive to everything. we were there during a huge tornado that hit in town, and they checked on us several times, once actually coming out just to see if we were OK, as well as offering their own storm shelters if we felt unsafe. It was a wonderful trip to Charleston made even better by having such beautiful accommodations! We’ll be back!!!
