The simulated rock cabinet enclosure assembly is formed to provide an overall outer appearance consistent with that of a landscaping hardscape element such as a boulder. The boulder may be formed of a molded, hollow simulated stone cabinet or enclosure having an opening and a relatively large cavity or chamber forming an internal appliance containment well within which the dryer appliance is mounted.
