The Stagecoach Inn has been a favorite dining destination in the Boise area since 1959.  The now-iconic restaurant shares a certain kind of history with the original stagecoach inns and taverns that dotted the west in years past.

Long before the widespread use of motorized transportation such as airplanes, automobiles and the so-called “Iron Horse”– the stagecoach was the best means of traversing this vast land, often traveling west to new opportunities in the expanding territories of our growing country.  Pulled by teams of horses –their steadfast drivers intent on the safe and swift delivery of mail, goods, people and currency– each stage would stop for a time along the route allowing passengers to eat, rest, and be entertained at a cozy tavern or inn.  There, the inn-keeper would provide valuable respite from rough roads, inclement weather, and oft-times dangerous travel.
