The Aspen Retreat by Bella

The Aspen Retreat is my newest player home and although it does lack some of the amenities of my "The Meadows Cottage" mod (no trophy room), it offers what The Meadows lacks. It's a true little homestead just outside the city gates of Riften and is my favorite of the two. Below are some of the things you'll find should you decide to purchase the home.

Though it is not a hard requirement, there are a LOT of idles scattered about the property. If you want your Dovahkiin to be able to interact with them, I highly recommend the mod "Dovahkiin Can Lean Sit Kneel Lay Down". It complements The Aspen Retreat well.

Amenities:

Although not an amenity, the house does cost 8,000 septims (just like the Meadows)
Teleport Tome
Hearthfire Multi-Adoption compatible for up to 6 kids
Outdoor smithing equipment (forge, workbench, grindstone, etc)
Indoor/outdoor alchemy and enchanting
Bookcases
Plenty of storage
Some chests, baskets, barrels, etc are linked to other containers (not to the crafting equipment)
Garden/Planters
CHICKENS!!! (Set protected so only you can kill them)

*** There is one known bug. It doesn't really bother me, but some are more picky than me. lol If you ask the kids if they want to play a game, regardless of the game you choose, they will run into the city to play it. I have tried everything I could think of, consulted the nine divines, sacrificed Nazeem to Boethiah....nothing seems to work. But I love the house and wanted to share.

Another point.....this house is located OUTSIDE of the city gates. Critters, large and small, bandits and vampires, will occasionally wander there. Then again, it is so close to the city gates and stables, you'll often find guards lounging on your porch, chopping wood, crafting armor, and even chopping weeds in the garden. It is what it is.
