Coach Stop Inn, Wellsboro

Regardless of what trivial flaws one might find with The Coach Stop Inn (what motel don't have a few), it is well worth going out of your way to stay there to catch a glimpse of the gorgeous after hours inn keeper. Once I reeled my tongue back in, concealed my woody with my helmet, and unglued my eyes from that gift from god bod, she was very helpful in getting me settled into my room. My next excursion will definitely be through Tioga county, and I will definitely be stopping at The Coach Stop Inn. Be forewarned though, look but don't touch. These mountain people are heavily armed, and the stunning redhead is rumored to have a highly jealous boyfriend who is also a trained killer.

No matter the price range no room should have debris under the bed from a previous guest or hair in the bathroom. No maid service - not referring to bed linens not being changed as an ecological factor. Trash cans not emptied, etc. No staff returned phone calls. Couldn't even get a bucket of ice - no staff. We were there peak fall season. Web page pictures misleading

I am kinda of judgemental when it comes to hotels. I like a hotel to look better than the house I live in. We tried booking a hotel but everything was booked up but the Coach Stop Inn. I did not think the pictures on line looked to nice. So reluctantly we book it. We go.... and we NEVER had so much fun. The rooms all had chairs outside on the porch so the group of 8 (4 different rooms) I was with could all be together outside. Then at night they had a campfire ring and wood and we all sat outside telling stories, jokes and by the end of the night we had met like 20 new freinds that were also staying there. We ordered dinner to go from the inn and ate it around the campfire. That weekend we enjoyed riding our Harley's, meeting new freinds, laughing with our old friends and seeing some beautiful land. The room was clean and a place to lay our heads. Isn't that all the really matters now. You really can't judge a book by its cover. Yes it may not look like something great but if you have freinds and a campfire and good food, how can you go wrong. If we would have only knew to bring marshmallows............well we'll take them next year, cause we are going back.

We were told they had an inground pool.This was true,but not functional.It would be at least next summer for that.We were told they had asphalt parking lot,since we have Harleys.All they had was paved parking in front of the front door.Our bikes ended being parked on the walkway in front of our hotel room to keep from getting damaged.Dining/bar/lounge closed at 9pm,even on weekends.All and all it was very dissappointing,as to what we were promised and their prices were high and not worth what we paid.

In the last 16 years I have ridden well over 1,000 miles on horses owned by Mountain Trail Horse Center (aka Nature Quest), which now owns Coach Stop Inn. Not once in all those years have I observed any horse being mistreated, neglected or abused in any way. These horses are powerful athletes who tirelessly pound their way up steep slopes that would exhaust mere humans on foot....as well as many other horses that are less fit and/or less well cared for. While I am not an expert on horses, from experience I do know the truth behind the saying that "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink" -- even on a hot day. I also know for a fact that Mountain Trail always ensures its horses are well fed and receive plenty of water every day. And I know from experience that any horse with an injury is allowed to rest and heal rather than being continually ridden. Mountain Trail's guides give customers about one hour of instruction before they ever get on a horse. Much of that instruction is aimed at protecting the horse. I have heard paying customers warned they will walk if they in any way injure or mistreat a horse by riding poorly or not following instructions. The owners have far too much invested in horse flesh to ever mistreat one of their own animals in any way. This outfitter owns up to 70 tough mountain horses that take riders on grand adventures through the wilds of Tioga State Forest. The corral is in Ansonia, just down the road from the Coach Stop. Like many repeat customers, my friends and I have come to recognize the horses, know them by name and often request our favorites for riding. There is no high turnover, which you might expect at a commercial stable with neglected, over-used or unhealthy stock. You can go back for 10 or 12 or more years and find the same horses still there and still eagerly working. (The only unhappy horses when we ride out are those left behind in the pasture or the corral. I know that because they are quite audible about it.) You can go for a half-day, full-day or multi-day ride, beginning and ending your trip with a fine meal and decent lodgings at the Coach Stop Inn. And these are not nose-to-butt horse rides. Even first time riders will have the opportunity to walk, canter and break into a full gallop on horseback. It is one of the best guided wilderness adventures remaining on the East Coast.

Loved the scenery. Great being outside of town in the peace and quiet. I was able to take a walk around the Coach Stop property, lots of wildflowers, animals and birds. I loved watching the horse out back. It looked so peaceful having a huge field to graze in and it's own personal pond in the back. Great food, great housekeeping, great views. Must come again

The service/food at the hotel was excellent. The atmosphere was enjoyable and relaxing while we dined in their quaint dining room. Words alone cannot express the adventure and outstanding treatment our daughters (15 and 25) received from guide Rachel on their approx. 40 mile adventure in the mountains that covered almost 2 full days. This was not a standard overnight trail ride, but an educational adventure into the mountains where trails were blazed, nature was experienced and great friendships were shared around a campfire. I would recommend this combination style vacation to everyone and anyone. A high level of experience is not required. All that is needed is a sense of adventure and a willingness to follow direction.

WE HAVE STAYED AT THE COACH STOP MANY TIMES IN THE PAST BEFORE THE NEW MANAGEMENT TOOK OVER. WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH EVERYTHING- ESPECIALLY THE HOUSEKEEPING STAFF. ONLY CONCERN ARE THE HORSES OUT BACK- THEY HAD NO WATER AND ONLY A MUD PUDDLE TO DRINK FROM( I WALKED BACK THERE TO CHECK!) AT NO TIME DID ANYONE, BUT ME, CHECK ON THE HORSES. SINCE A COMPANY CALLED NATURE QUEST TOOK IT OVER THE LEAST THEY CAN DO IS TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN ANIMALS!! VIEW FROM OUR BACK IS SPECTACULAR- WE EVEN SAW A RAINBOW ONE EVENING!! MIGHT STAY THERE AGAIN- DON'T

Just stayed there last weekend and found it clean and comfortable. The food was good too. On the downside, the walls are so thin we could hear the people in the next room talking, snoring, and other noises from the bathroom. For that reason I would not go back. Also, once the lounge closes there is no one except tenants on the property.

This place is now under new management and has a new chef. The food was quite simply amazing. The new menu is a huge improvement. I strongly recommend the crab cakes or the lamb - both were superb.
