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.

* The Vista & Downtown Columbia offer shopping, dining, and nightlife just across the river.
* Williams-Brice Stadium is close by for football weekends.
* Fort Jackson is an easy 20-minute drive to visit your soldier.

For outdoor fun, you’re spoiled for choice:

* Columbia Canal & Riverfront Park (under 3 miles) – flat, paved walking trail, scenic river overlooks, picnic shelters, and even an amphitheater.
* Riverbanks Zoo & Garden – one of the Southeast’s best family attractions, featuring animal exhibits, a farmyard, giraffe and lorikeet feedings, a carousel, splash zone, ropes course, and zipline.
* Congaree National Park – a short drive away, offering trails, boardwalks, and canoeing in a one-of-a-kind old-growth forest.

Foodies will love the variety of local dining options, from casual pizza joints to fine dining with white tablecloths.

* This is not a party rental. Guests seeking a loud gathering spot will need to look elsewhere. Any violation of noise or community rules will result in immediate cancellation of your stay.

Why Guests Love Saluda Gem

Most visitors tell us their favorite part is waking up to the peaceful sound of the river and enjoying the convenience of being so close to downtown without the noise and congestion. It’s the best of both worlds—tranquil nature and vibrant city life.

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.

We stayed for a family members graduation from Ft Jackson. We were close enough to arrive at the basee quickly but far enough away to not be burdened by base traffic. The location is very quiet and if needed we would stay again.

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.

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

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.

Nice Place

Found everything to be clean inside and very comfortable. However we were unable to enjoy the patio due to the number of spiders and their webs. Maybe some heavy duty bug killer.
