Our stay at this property was perfect. The host was very responsive, the unit was clean and had everything we needed. The complex was very quiet and peaceful. It was a short drive to campus for parent's weekend/football game. We even were able to spend a couple hours at the pool which was beautiful. We will return to Saluda Gem for our future visits.

Great place, as advertised. It’s a little outdated (reflected in the cost) but super clean & well kept. The AC is pretty loud when it kicks on, & woke all of us up a few times at night. Other than that, no complaints! It’s in a quiet location, & we loved spending time on the beautiful balcony.

Rooms were cleaned, nice and neat. The nature scenery was wonderful on the back patio. We enjoyed to breeze at night and the morning dew with the deers. The apartment was cozy and comfy for our little getaway. Will be returning.
Pool was great too.

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 were there for our son's basic training graduation and this condo was perfect for our visit. There was plenty of room and it was very clean. The wooded view from the porch was peaceful and relaxing. The couches and beds were comfortable. The only things negative was the a/c was loud. It was hard to watch TV over it, that wasn't a problem for us but might be for someone else. Also, the person in the apt above gets up every morning at 3am and you can here them walking around and opening drawers and things. Overall though, it was a pleasant stay and we enjoyed our visit.
