Information     Top

John Pruitt, Sr. was a Confederate soldier who settled after the war along the banks of the Buffalo River in the area now known as Pruitt Access. Pruitt's Historic Stone Cabin was built in 1930 by Harve Pruitt, the grandson of John Pruitt, Sr. It is located about 2 miles outside of Jasper, Arkansas and within walking distance of the Little Buffalo River. The Little Buffalo River runs through the town of Jasper and is a smaller but equally picturesque river.

Karen Holmes, Harve's granddaughter, and her husband David, are the current owners. They have restored the cabin in a thoroughly modern and tasteful fashion, while preserving its historic integrity. The 109 acres upon which the cabin sits is virtually unchanged with its large sprawling green lawn. A shaded foot path follows a mountain stream to the banks of the Little Buffalo River where you will find a first class swimming hole.

Pruitt's Historic Stone Cabin offers easy access to all the area's outdoor adventures including hiking, canoeing or just taking a scenic drive. There are shops in Jasper including grocery store and antique shops and several restaurants to select from if you prefer not to cook. Come dressed to relax and enjoy.
