Old Timers tell us that this was the stage stop, and then the Stagecoach Inn for as long as they can remember. We're not sure when this all started, but travelers and locals alike have always found good western fare at the Stagecoach for many years.
True to western lore, there are conflicting stories regarding the Stagecoach's history. Credible accounts have identified the rustic log structure which houses the entrance, parlor and lounge as Helen Hunt Jackson's summer cottage and was built in 1881. Helen Hunt Jackson was a famous American author, poetess, and champion of Native American rights. Her novel 'Ramona' is still in print today after more than 300 printings and in many different languages.

The barn-like structure which houses the main dining room, side porch and kitchen was the first electric company in Manitou Springs which boasted electricity before New York City. The generator was powered by a 45 foot diameter water wheel in Fountain Creek. Later the building became the home of the Manitou Springs Journal. One of the paper boys for the Journal, A.B. Armstrong, later bought both buildings and transformed them into southern Colorado's first pick for true Colorado Comfort Food. He and his family operated the Stagecoach for many decades and was famous for his fried chicken and biscuits with cherry preserves. Famous patrons of the past include President Eisenhower, and Pa, Little Joe and Hoss Cartwright.
