Quiet Corner Unit with Deck Overlooking the Saluda River

Welcome to Saluda Gem – a peaceful retreat tucked away on the scenic Saluda River in West Columbia, South Carolina. This corner-unit condo offers privacy, comfort, and beautiful views of the water, all while being just minutes from the best of Columbia. Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway, a family visit, or to catch a game at Williams-Brice Stadium, Saluda Gem provides the perfect balance of relaxation and convenience.

The Space

Step inside and feel at home. The condo is bright, comfortable, and well-equipped for your stay. The highlight is the private deck overlooking the river—a wonderful spot to enjoy your morning coffee, read a book, or unwind at sunset. In summer, you’ll also have access to the community pool, a great way to cool off after a day of exploring.

This is a quiet, residential community, making it ideal for couples, solo travelers, and families who value a restful environment.

This was our second time staying here and we loved it as much as we did the first time. It is a lovely condo, close to many things in West Columbia, and not too far from all things USC. It is very comfortable, well-stocked, and suits us well.

graduation

The property was perfect!! My family stayed here because we were going to a graduation in Ft Jackson. The drive was super easy and only 25 minutes away from the base. The property location was also easy to visit other places and restaurants. My daughter had workouts to complete while we were here and there was plenty of room to get her runs in. We will definitely stay here again.

Great stay

This apartment was very roomy and quite comfortable. Bob was very easy to get in contact with and friendly to talk to. The river walk nearby is a must because it was beautiful and shady. The trail was either cemented or had a board walk. I plan to rent this apartment in the future.

Great condo!

The condo was so cute and exactly as listed. The owner communicated well with us and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed (which we did!). We loved being so close to all of the things we wanted to do (the riverwalk, Soda City Market, exploring the USC campus, going to a USC football game). We would definitely stay here again!

Great Stay

We stayed at this rental for two nights to attend our son’s Fort Jackson BCt graduation and everything was amazing. It is very clean and organized. Great view. Plenty of parking. The host checked in frequently to ask if everything was ok and if we needed anything. We would highly recommend this rental .

Clean, Convenient, and Quiet

We enjoyed our stay! The host was very prompt and thorough in his communications and the property was nice and quiet and had everything we needed. The selection of pots and pans to cook with was maybe a little slim, but it was made up for by having a few extras like ziploc bags, foil, etc. that came in handy. Overall it was a great stay, and we would definitely stay here again!

Great rental on the quiet side of Columbia

Close to zoo and botanical gardens. Short drive to downtown Columbia, yet quiet and away from crowds. Comfortable rental with generously sized rooms and updated appliances. We appreciated that the owner/manager checked in with us via email several times to answer any questions we had (and responded promptly). Would definitely seek to re-book (if available) the next time we visit Columbia.

Well appointed kitchen we cooked once or twice, good appliances comfy furniture very good bathrooms and laundry was good to have as well. Parking was plentiful.

Diamond of tranquility

A short climb of stairs to the front door that opens to a beautifully decorated and very nicely remodeled two bedroom condo. It was always quiet (outside and upper tenants) with a long balcony overlooking a wooded yard. The main bathroom was nicely marbled with a double head shower, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well supplied as if you were at home. Close to downtown Columbia, a fantastic zoo, children’s museum, and multiple breweries and restaurants. Truly enjoyable!!

Comfortable space

This 2 bedroom condo was a very comfortable space for me and a colleague. We were in Columbia to run a summer program for teens and we appreciated the space to spread out and work. The bedrooms and 2 baths gave us each our own space. Minimal supplies were provided so we had to "borrow" TP, cleaning supplies, and trash bags from a colleague.

Visit for college son

We came to visit our son for a long weekend who attends UofSC. The condo was exactly as described and immensely clean and clean smelling as you walked in the door. Communication with host was excellent. We did not use pool since it was February. Complex was very quiet and a short 10 minute drive from campus. TV Wi-Fi etc all worked perfectly. Would definitely stay here again.

A Hidden Surprise

This rental was perfect for a family of four. It was clean and had everything you would need for your stay. The kitchen had enough supplies to cook with. The only thing I could say is the pots needed the right size lids for the pans. We made accommodations by using dishes. The sofas and beds were comfortable. Balcony view of woods made you feel like you were upstate. We saw baby deer and the pool was relaxing. You sort of have to drive through a little rundown neighborhood but once you turn into the property, you would never know. I felt safe and would recommend this rental.
