Hi, I'm Rich, your host! I’m a physician, and a proud veteran of the U.S. Army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve. As an officer, I was commissioned in combat engineering, which sparked my interest in the ins and outs of cabin building. I’ve utilized my carpentry, plumbing, and electric training to create my beloved rentals. Today, I love hosting people from all over in a cabin retreat that meets a 5-star experience and exceeds expectations. My mission is to make my guests feel like every penny was worth their stay, and that they can’t wait to return in the future and suggest it to all their loved ones. When I’m not hosting or at work, you can find me backpacking, hiking, camping, and enjoying a motorcycle ride. After growing up partly in the city and partly in the country, I discovered that the country is where my heart is. So when I travel, I look for destinations that offer beautiful forests and mountain scenery. I love rock and roll and country music. And I always try to live by this motto: "Live simply, Dream big, be grateful, give love, laugh lots!"

An outdoor and adventure seekers paradise surrounds Codex Cabin with many options to choose from. The cabin is steps from the Army Corps of Engineers Parker Creek Recreation Area on Lake Greeson, where there is a boat launch, RV camping, hiking trails, a swimming area, a playground, and an ATV staging area to access 37,000 acres of an adjacent wildlife management area. There is a 31-mile ATV trail encompassing Lake Greeson. You’ll be 30 minutes from Cossatot State Park- known for its white water rafting. For more serene water excursions, the Little Missouri River and nearby Caddo River feature beautiful scenery and great floating and paddling options, though water levels and speeds fluctuate throughout the year. For family water fun, Hot Springs Arkansas is 45 minutes to the east and offers hot springs bath houses, a theme park and water park, an ATV adventure park, and a mountain tower. More family fun can be had at the nearby zipline forest adventures. Try your luck at the Crater of Diamonds State Park, the only publicly accessible diamond field where visitors can keep any diamonds they find. * Pre-boooking note: Guests will receive a link to an online pre-check-in form.
