Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
This beautiful home was built right inside an incredible, red rock CAVE! It was built in the 1980's by a local cowboy named A.C. Ekker. His dream sprang to life as he blew holes into the cliff-side and began to build his dream home nuzzled inside. This exquisite home was recently remodeled and has become the premier vacation spot in Hanksville. Staying in this home is truly an experience all it's own.

The space
On the main level you will find the master king suite with exposed red rock and a huge garden top nestled into a red rock cave. The kitchen is huge with everything you will need for your group to enjoy meals together. It boasts a double oven and large refrigerator. The main living room has two full sized pull out sofa sleepers and large couch, along with blow up mattresses and plenty of bedding. There is a full bathroom right off the main living room area.

Recently remodeled, this beautiful home offers plenty of space for family reunions, hunting base camp, Utah adventure base camp, scout groups, youth groups, and much much more.
