Our Founders – Tom and Karen Karnuta. Still in love with Salida after many years, they look forward to sharing their love of the town, river and the mountains nearby with you.
Having traveled extensively and looking for a place to call home, the Karnutas’ settled in Salida because of all of the amazing things right in one place – the river in the backyard, the ski area 20 minutes away, and an all around vibrant and friendly small town.
