📋 About This Mod
THANKS to all who have provided feedback, endorsed, kudo'd, screenshoted and put the hideout as a File of the Month in May 2012.
A small, detailed, atmospheric hideout off the beaten path between Riverwood and Whiterun. If you don't mind getting your boots wet, the sound of waterfalls, and prefer a darker hidden place to kick up your feet and drop off your loot...this may be the home for you.
Should be lore friendly, ready for companions, full crafting and storage.
- []If anyone is familiar with my other mod Fallout 3 Mini Hideout. you may see some similarities, especially in style. []The hideout is very lighting specific so ENB mods or other lighting effects may make it too dark or flicker more.
Thanks to DARKFIREGAMING, GamerPoets, BringYourMods, Brodual, Bits & Bobs and Gamespot for creating or reviewing great videos of the hideout: qA1fmS3ngGY XpDtN7uwLuU

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community favorite with 12,020 endorsements and 231,210 downloads.
- Perfect for players who want a cozy, hidden home without the grandeur of a castle.
- Atmospheric waterfalls and darker tones give it a unique, immersive vibe.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2012, so it may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- Small size means limited storage and display space compared to larger player homes.
- Requires getting your boots wet—no dry entry, which might annoy some players.
For Skyrim players who love immersive, tucked-away hideouts and don't mind a little water. If you're a completionist or roleplayer seeking a cozy base near Whiterun, this is a classic pick. Skip if you need a massive player home with all the amenities.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting conflicts.
- Place it low in your load order to prevent issues with other player home mods.
- If you're playing Special Edition, check if you need to port the mod or find a compatible version.
