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.

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.

* 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 had a wonderful stay in West Columbia. This condo is clean, and we like a really clean space in which to stay on our travels. Who wouldn’t? It has beautiful green trees outside the sliding doors that hid the Saluda River during our August stay. You feel enclosed in lush greenery. It is a private community that is quiet and beautifully landscaped. We were 5 minutes away from Riverside Botanical Gardens and Zoo! Our stay was a delight. Bob and Dana are wonderful hosts.

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.
According to Google, it's a Giant Golden Orbweaver.

Charming condo in a great location

The condo is very clean and everything looked great. We had everything we needed. It is on the second floor, but the way the land is sloped you only have to go up 6 or so steps to get to the front door. It is also an end unit, so you only have people on one side of you. The neighborhood is very quiet and we didn't have any issues. The back deck is very private in the spring and summer, looking out onto woods. There is a house off to the right that you could probably see when the trees lose their leaves. Note their is only one TV in the whole condo in the living room, there aren't any in the bedrooms. The location is hard to beat. It's about 10 minutes west of downtown and was conveniently located to everything we wanted to do. We'd definitely stay here again if we were going to be in Columbia.

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!

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.

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.

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.

USC move-in visit

We stayed for 3 nights while we were in the area for University of South Carolina move-in. The unit itself is perfect. Spacious, very clean, and had everything we needed. The area is not great. Definitely didn't feel comfortable going for a run or walk as the complex is surrounded by some run down buildings. Once you're in the complex, it is fine. The pool was unavailable during our entire stay. This was a huge bummer for us as we had booked this place for use of the pool to give our kids something fun to do. Other than that, we were happy with our stay and definitely recommend if the pool/outdoor area is not important to you. The host was great and very responsive.
