This is an interesting cozy house in an interesting location. Personally I rather like tiny cozy homes. Here are my thoughts:
Location: I am not sure I know what to make of the location.
Pros: On the one hand there's probably very few homes or other places that would conflict with this mod. Also it is probably fairly beneficial if you are using Survival mode during the trip to the summit.
Cons: On the other hand you have to be pretty far into the main quest line in order to get the clear skies shout to even begin the trek to the summit, that is a pretty late point to be getting access to a very small house. It is a bit of a pain to test because you have to use console commands and give yourself a shout just to get to it. Then again.....it is a house that you don't have to buy, but is earned by getting to the point in the quest line where you can access it.
Suggestions: This might make a bit more sense in a different location. If it were situated lower on the slope on the way up to High Hrothgar from Ivarstead (which is earlier in the main questline) it would be much more useful, especially since you have to make that trip multiple times.
Other possible location suggestions: Near Winterhold, in a location similar to White Elk Shelter which is nestled on a hillside between Winterhold and Saarthal. Up the hill from the Nightgate Inn, in a location similar to Hermit Mountain Cottage - A buildable Home The footprint of this mod in the world is extremely minimal so you can put it practically anywhere.
Possible Glitch with Bellows and some other minor thoughts.
Link to Imgur with pictures. I'm not sure if this is intentional but I noticed that the smelting pot doesn't work. Then I noticed that the Bellows that I knocked onto the floor by accident could be clicked on to smelt ores. It looks like you may have added the activation to the wrong item. That said having portable smelting is rather amusing.
I would suggest that unless you want to give the player a magic pocket smelter (I find it hillarious to say that out loud. Tee hee.) that you anchor that statically to the table. I would also suggest fixing it so that clicking on the smelting pot provides the correct menu.
Other thoughts: I really love the small cozy home in general. That said, I find my character constantly tripping over the stone sofa on the bottom floor, and practically hitting his head on the ceiling. Its almost TOO tiny. Adding about 2-3 feet bigger on each side would make this much more easy to navigate while still feeling cozy. But I understand if that is too much to ask.
I'm impressed you managed to add a shower. It would be nice if there was a small amount of standing water to be compatible with bathing mods. A small trapdoor into a small bathroom would be neat if you think that is possible. But otherwise it is nice
I solved the problem with activation. I want to say that it is not your mistake. There must be the latest version of the game, or this is https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/106441?tab=posts, without these conditions the game simply does not see either ESP or ESL. It would be very nice if you could add this to the description of the mod. I understand that the mistake is not on your part, but not everyone is as stubborn as I am and will read comments on other modifications to understand what’s going on. And questions didn’t distract you from creativity and real life once again. Thank you for your patience.
Thank you. It seems my version of the kit isn't making it usable for older versions of Skyrim... I waiting for the new kit patches to be made by the modders that should fix this, but as my kit is the recent version (which I hate with a fiery passion) I'll need to include this for those having issues :/ Bloody hell, Bethesda.
Love your home and the way you organized it! Very functional. I'm about to make a video on it for my Youtube channel, and I am going around testing the different work stations, and I noticed that the tanning rack doesn't activate but the other stations do. Just wanted to give you a heads up! Great work, though!
tanning rack is decorative. the functions of the tanning rack are included in the anvil. I mixed the crafting in there, but perhaps I ought to make the tanning rack the activator if it's there, as it will give people the wrong idea...
I installed different versions, but it doesn't work for me. Is the hut inside High Hrothgar or on the road to it? I would really like to see this house in my game. But I don’t have an icon on the map, and there’s no mod at all in AddItemMenu. Although the mod was installed correctly, via MO2. Please let me know who has this working for you, what version are you installing?
The key is inside the bedroom area in High Hrothgar. The house is on the way to Parathanax in the area beyond where you learn "clear skies." Try the Loose ESP version.
Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me, the house doesn’t appear and the marker doesn’t appear on the map, the cry clear sky is open. An open version of ESP was installed. I started a new game, but the problem is not solved. I've never had problems activating the mod, it's a shame. I'll wait for someone else to write back who liked the house.

Otherwise I really like this home. Endorsed!
