Skyrim:Honeyside

right|thumb|Kitchen and Bedroom Area
This house, the second-least expensive home that can be obtained, becomes available for purchase during a quest for the Jarl of Riften. The quest can be started at the Fishery outside Riften; look for an Argonian woman, Wujeeta, working inside the Fishery. However, you need not contact her at the Fishery to start the quest since she can be contacted outside work hours to initiate the quest as well.

Note that the Jarl will not even mention selling the house until you have completed the associated quests Helping Hand, The Raid and Supply and Demand, and also built a reputation with Riften citizens by doing a few miscellaneous quests for the people of the town (see I Done Got Thaned! for details). Honeyside must be purchased from her steward Anuriel in order to complete the quest and receive the title of Thane of Riften.

Alternatively, if you give Riften to the Empire during Season Unending or conquer it during Reunification of Skyrim, Honeyside can be purchased from Hemming Black-Briar without having to complete or begin the quests for the Jarl.

Honeyside is a small two-story house, with access from within Riften and from the docks just outside the city. The house comes with a basic kitchen, bedroom, basement with housecarl's quarters, and a dock. A housecarl, Iona, will be employed when you have become a Thane of Riften. The garden will regrow after spending 30 in-game days outside of Riften and all its buildings including Honeyside.

Notes
Riften does not have a smelter. Since there is no smelter nearby, if you live in Honeyside, you have to travel all the way to Shor's Stone to create ingots at the smelter there.
There are two windows on the outside wall of Honeyside, facing Haelga's Bunkhouse. However, once you enter, no windows are seen, as the space on the wall where the windows supposedly are located is taken up by the fireplace.
Any outdoor containers (not inside the building) eventually respawn and delete anything that you may have placed in them. This includes the fish barrel on the deck.
Some of the staged objects obtained when purchasing decorations can't be moved by you (such as forks).
If Wujeeta dies prior to you completing the quest Helping Hand and starting the quest The Raid, then the only way to purchase the house is if the Imperials occupy Riften.
This house has a unique back porch entrance that allows you to access the house from outside the city, which can be handy for avoiding guards while you have a price on your head. It's also incredibly helpful if you're encumbered and have a horse. You can hop on your horse, fast travel to the Riften stables, and then ride your horse right up to the back door for easy loot unloading.
 
A copy of the Enchanting skill book ''Enchanter's Primer'' can be found on the table in the enchanting laboratory.
Adopted children living here will have unique dialogue comments about Riften:right|thumb|Child's Bedroom
Maramal said I could visit the temple whenever I wanted. (girls)
Mister Brynjolf gave me an apple, Papa! He seems nice. (girls)
''There are lots of scary people here, Mama. Promise you'll keep me safe? (girls)
I wanna go swimming, but the guards keep yelling at me. The canal's not that dirty... (boys)
Mister Brynjolf said he could teach me a lot of neat things when I'm older. (boys)
If you ask your spouse "How are the kids?" they will reply with one of the following, depending on their voicetype:
Oh fine, love, if you want to bring up little pickpockets. This place is a terrible influence on a child.
Just fine, love. The weather here is wonderful, perfect for playing outdoors.
Well enough. Riften's a tough city, but... it's a tough world. Kid has to learn to stand up for themselves sometime.
Hmph. This city's crawling with thieves. Cowards. Kid could learn some bad habits here.''

Bugs
There are a few bugs which affect all houses, see the bugs section of the Houses page for details and fixes.
 
 
 
 
Books can be rescued by removing them individually.
 
Switching back to the enchanting Laboratory, all items remain on the mannequins, weapon racks, and plaques and will be recoverable.
 
To avoid this, purchase the garden last when buying upgrades.
 
  You can use the following console commands to fix the issue. Note that these commands do not require you to actually buy the enchanting area upgrade.  (use the Hearthfire prefix for xx)
