📋 About This Mod
Welcome to Cozy Lakeside Cabin
Important read changelog for latest version bottom of the page!
This is a very cozy one room Hobbit style cabin on the shore of lake Ilinalta not far across from the three guardian stones. It is placed at a beautiful location by the lake and has a nice garden surrounding it and a stream enters the lake in front of it. This is a perfect starter home or a nice second or third home to stop over; the cabin has two beds, both give the well rested bonus; a cooking pot, an oven and plenty labeled food storage. It has an alchemy lab, an enchanter, a workbench and a tanning rack. There is lots and lots of storage, both labeled like for books and spirits etc. and non labeled like the dressers and chest but all are safe for storage.
If you like this home and want a full size Hobbit style Home check out my "Island Hobbit Home" for SSE here!

A narrated view of the Cozy Lakeside Cabin, thanks to PattyJack for the video. A note about the comment in the video that some grass could be cleaned up, which is true. That grass was not an issue in the original but was added by SSE which added ALLOT more ground cover as I am sure you know, so it came with SSE when I ported the mod. I will try and clean that up in a future update but did not think of that in the beginning.
Special note: All mods mentioned below may not be compatible with SSE and not all links will lead to a SSE version of that mod! Please check for yourself, this description is from the original for classic Skyrim. For one thing there is no GS version for any of my mods available for SSE.
This spot always appealed to me for camping and I wanted a more permanent structure for some time; a Hobbit style dwelling seemed to offer the best of comfort inside and low profile on the outside to blend well into the landscape, which has been changed minimally. There are also some water lilies and reeds planted in the lake close to the cabin and some additional critter spawn points. For those using "crafting requires tools" there is a tool provided for each crafting style around the house. There are no weapon racks or mannequins and that is quite on purpose, please do not ask for them. There is plenty of storage to sort your loot and I think that you will find the assigned storage very useful. It is after all just a one room cabin.
