Stone Wall Mountain Resort is
owned and operated by Dr. Wesley Pool and Wanda Pool, husband and wife, who reside on the mountain. Wes, originally from Kansas
City, and Wanda, originally from New York, moved to Eureka Springs in 1999, and purchased the beautiful mountainous land which
became Stone Wall Mountain, a piece at a time, until complete in 2006. They have owned and operated Stone Wall Mountain
Wellness Center, also located on the mountain, since 2001. In 2006, the new commercial drive was completed down the southern
slope of the mountain adjoining Highway 23, Boulder Rock Lodge was completed and Stone Wall
Mountain Resort was formed. There are future plans to build several more unique cabins and lodges, nestled back into
the rich forest in private and serene settings, all with million dollar views, along the upper regions of Stone
Wall Mountain.

Stone Wall Mountain is rich in history.
Billions of years old, Stone Wall Mountain rests along the northern rim of the Boston Mountain, part of the Ozark Mountain
Region. The ancient Ozark Mountains, not unlike the Grand Canyon, were caused by erosion, not Tectonic Plate upheaval.
Stone Wall Mountain was part of a territory that was populated by various tribes of Native Americans over thousands of
years. This mountain was settled in the 1700s by Native American Qua-paw Indians. The name of our state, "Arkansas",
was labeled by Lewis and Clark when their Indian Guides identified the tribe by mispronouncing "Qua-paw". To Lewis
and Clark it sounded more like "Ar-Kan-Saw". In the 1800s some Native American Cherokee Indians, forced westward
from Tennessee, settled in this area, and on Stone Wall Mountain. They were driven from the area by the mid 1800s. Around
1856 Confederate Soldiers encamped atop Stone Wall Mountain and erected a still existing rubble stone wall encompassing the
entire mountain rim. In the late 1800s the U.S. Government sold land tracts to settlers, including our 105
acres. As far as we can track, one of the first families to settle on this mountain were Irish immigrants who homesteaded
through tough times, and who helped add to our mountain walls. On Stone Wall Mountain, the remains of an old root cellar, a
hand dug stone-lined well, along with the rubble stone wall, still remain as a testament of the tenacity of many Americans on
this beautiful land. The one and a half century old rubble stone wall which rings our entire mountain top inspired our
naming the mountain "Stone Wall Mountain".
