West Union is a small, scenic Oconee County town tucked near Lake Keowee and the Blue Ridge foothills, offering a peaceful, walkable base with easy access to hiking, boating and local markets — a low‑stress, outdoorsy place that can feel like a cozy home-away-from-home for multi‑week contracts.
When you want bigger-city options, lively Clemson (college restaurants, bars and game‑day energy) is about 15–16 miles away, and Greenville’s broader dining, arts scene and airport are within roughly a 40–60 mile drive, so you won’t be stuck with nothing to do.
