House was fabulous and easy to find. My husband and I love the Rocky mountains and to stay in a home based around giant boulders made it a bucket list place to stay! It did not disappoint! They had frozen pasta in freezer which was excellent (available for purchase).

Thanks for your kind words. We are constantly adding features like the art gallery and river pool. We just built an outdoor fire pit to sit around and look at the river.

My wife & I enjoyed our stay at Rocka Verde Retreat so very much. The home in it self is an attraction. By far the most unique property we have ever stayed at. Who looks at four big boulders & says I think I'll build a house around them. ....& he made it work. Also loved the deck over the river, so peaceful. We were so secluded. Felt like we were the only two people in the world. Thanks a bunch Robert, wish we could of visited in person.

Truly unique

The incorporation of the natural surroundings into the design of the house were incredibly well done. The sound of the river was the perfect white noise to allow for a solid nights sleep.

Eighth Wonder of the World!

This place is amazing. After walking down the stairs, you see the most incredible rock house with built-in spa, open concept living/dining areas, and truly incredible bathroom with heated seat and great shower. We loved spending family time together in this memorable location. If we had more time, we would have enjoyed hanging out in the gazebo over the river. Very excited to return someday.

Magical spot in Costa Rica

The Rocka Verde Retreat was stunning. We had a magical stay. Not only was the house beautifully designed and well equipped, but the property was equally as attractive and situated right on a pristine river. I am so grateful Robert had the creative insight and inspiration to manifest such a unique and astounding space. Definitely a special treat if you are going to be visiting this part of Costa Rica! Robert was very responsive throughout the booking process and stay. The house was equipped with everything needed for cooking and tidying up. The espresso machine was a bonus, as was having oil, coffee, and salt, and pepper provided. Finally, the surrounding areas of Rivas and San Gerardo are a nature lover's paradise even though you will find it hard to leave the property once you are there.

Wow,, what a unique place!

The property is amazing....i can see why its named the 8th wonder of the world. The home is biult right into huge rocks but you dont feel like you are in a cave. Robert has designed this home beautifully and uniquely. I would recommend you take advantage of his culinary skills and have him cook you a meal upon your arrival. It was soooo good....and a lot of food!!!! Pasta...braised ribs...roased artichoke...fresh cheese bread....house salad with home made dressing...shrimp cocktail....wine...pastries and home made kumkwat jam...and ice cream!!! Only thing to be cautious about...try to get there in the daylight...we were running late and did get lost but eventually made it!
