Twenty miles south of Steamboat Springs is Stagecoach, which coined its name from a former stagecoach road that went over Yellow Jacket Pass. The area once housed its own ski hill from 1972–1974. Plans are afoot with developers to restore the small ski area under new ownership as a private ski area with slopeside homes.

Stagecoach Lake State Park is the focal point of this neighborhood and a magnet for recreational use in summer and winter. Famed for trophy catches, the park is a popular venue for fly-fishing and ice fishing. The marina offers dock space plus boat, kayak and canoe rentals. A plethora of seasonal events staged at the park lure residents and visitors for anything from crawdad catching to triathlons.

Several housing developments skirt the park and offer a mix of condominiums, townhomes and single-family homes. The area attracts a large number of commuters who make the daily drive to work in Steamboat and beyond.

Buyers have the chance to own small ranges, homesteads and large parcels of undeveloped land in the outlying areas. The eclectic range of property in and around Stagecoach allows for all price points to be met.

Stagecoach is a short drive to the town of Oak Creek, which has a small number of shops, cafes and amenities. Public schools, which service the area, are offered in Steamboat Springs and Oak Creek.
