About this mod

This mod places a small camp in a hollow tree among waterfalls and a large cave that can serve as a home underneath it.

                             Welcome to Ferngully
                    a different player home in the wild.

This location, the pool between large waterfalls at the lower entrance to Darkwater passage, is one of the most spectacular spots in all of Skyrim.
For that reason many have build here and for the same reason I wanted a place that I can stay at that does not distract from the natural beauty.There was practically no landscape editing done around the exterior, I only added a large tree stump that holds a small camp in it; just a bedroll a knapsack with safe storage and a camp fire, and a trapdoor to the cave below...
One of the unique features of the cave is a large opening to the waterfall outside; for an adventurous exit take a running jump! Even better you can slide into the cave by coming down the waterfall from above.Make sure you come down the waterfall closest to the Island to activate the cave opening (you must activate, its not auto load)

Inside the cave there are two bedrolls, a cooking station, alchemy and enchanting tables, a workbench, a sharpening wheel, an Anvil and a tanning rack. And a shrine to Nocturnal. There are two storage chests, a couple barrels and a sack for food storage; ALL are safe for storage.
The cave features a few ore veins, lots of mushrooms and a few insect spawns.
There is a small interior waterfall and with mods allowing you to do so you can drink or bathe there.

This cave home works with followers; They may have a though time making it into the tree trunk, they will just try to get up to it but then will load with you into the cave and behave normally inside the cave. Should you enter via the waterfall, a follower will simply enter via the tree entrance. Exiting through the waterfall your follower will catch up with you downstream, eventually.

With Hearthcraft and Jaxons positioner you can do all sorts of additions to the cave and make it a primary home if you wanted to, but its supposed to be a minimalist camp.

Compatibility: 

Should work with anything in the game, only vanilla assets were used. 
Will conflict with any mod that builds on the same Island between the waterfalls obviously, but even then the entry to the cave through the waterfall may still be accessible, but I would not recommend that.
No DLC required.

Installation:

Use the green tab to install via NMM directly or download manually to your desktop and then use NMM to install it from there (that is what I do)
Manual install; download to desktop, open file and place the esp into your Skyrim Data folder, make sure its activated in your load order.
