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.
Location & Nearby Attractions
Saluda Gem is perfectly situated for easy access to Columbia’s top spots:
* I-26 is minutes away, making travel simple.
* 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.
Guest Access & Features

Important Notes

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.
