Saluda Outdoor Center
When we first purchased the Saluda Outdoor Center, our goal was to create an exceptional experience that felt like a home away from home. Somewhere you could come to relax, reconnect, and renew.
To do that, we knew it was only possible if we could build a team of amazing people, create unique homes and river pods that wowed, and weave in adventures on the beautiful Saluda River.
We've been lucky to be able to do that so far... and we have even more up our sleeves!
So, come visit! You're going to it here. We can't wait to see you at the river!
