History

Hole N" The Rock in southeastern Utah grew from the Christensen family homestead into a popular roadside attraction centered on a house carved into a sandstone cliff. Albert and Leo Christensen first made a cave shelter for cowboys, and in 1940 Albert began hand drilling and blasting a full family home, completed in 1952 after twelve years of work. The fourteen-room, 5,000-square-foot dwelling preserves the family’s furnishings and distinctive rock-cut features. The site also developed as a traveler stop, with a diner, tours, gift shops, later added visitor amenities, and sculptures, while retaining much of the home as the Christensens left it.
