Overview
The Hole 'N' The Rock is one of Utah’s most eccentric roadside attractions, a 5,000-square-foot home carved directly into a massive sandstone cliff. Built over two decades by Albert and Gladys Christensen, the home features 14 rooms, a 65-foot chimney, and original 1950s furnishings. Visitors can take a 12-minute guided tour through the interior, which showcases vintage appliances, hand-carved furniture, and even a bathtub sculpted from the rock. Outside, the property is filled with quirky sculptures, antique vehicles, and the largest collection of Lyle Nichols metal art in the region.
Beyond the home, Hole 'N' The Rock offers a petting zoo with exotic animals like camels, zebras, and wallabies, as well as a general store, trading post, and ice cream stand. Open year-round, the attraction is a favorite for families and road-trippers looking for a unique detour off US-191. With its blend of history, art, and Americana oddity, Hole 'N' The Rock is a must-see for anyone exploring the Moab area.
