The Way Back Inn is, well; Way back In. For us this has been a 16 year Dream. The "Inn" is a 1880's Miner's cabin with a tire and strawbale addition built by us. If you ever wanted to be completely off the grid this is the place. Having said that we are only 30 minutes from town and 20 minutes from the Arkansas river and all that it has to offer. The "Inn" sits in a high valley overlooking the Sangre De Cristo Mountains and one can literally hike or mountain bike right out the front door. We have fruit trees and we are working on a perma culture garden for your use. Well what can I say. It is quite possibly one of the most unique places you could ever stay.
If you ever wanted to have a backcountry wedding or reunion you will want to consider us. There is ample room for camping and Bon Fires!!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1994
Here we are...Terri and Greg! We were married in a meadow on this property in June of 2000. Greg is a strawbale home builder. Terri is a homemade soap maker. We enjoy all that Chaffee County has to offer including hiking, biking, skiing, ice skating, playing music with the locals and hanging out with friends. We have 3 grown boys, 2 of which are married and 4 grandchildren which are all lots of fun! We dream of saddling up our tandem bike and riding off into the sunset....one of these days!
The Unique Benefits of this Strawbale with Historic Cabin
To be and live off the grid is, empowering to say the least. So is being in a "defacto" wilderness area. Birds and wildlife abound and we can hike for hours in any direction without seeing a sign of human activity, just animal tracks and bird songs. But the best part is to simply relax, enjoy the view and listen. --- Oh yea. did I mention the night sky!!
