The Cabins:

The Marstons

They have the biggest of the cabins. Its the only one of the cabins with a second floor, that's where Uncle lives.

Arthur Morgan

Has the cabin closest to the actual house for all Dutches bossy needs. Has all the same stuff he had in his tent but with a better bed and heating.

Charles Smith

He has the cabin furthest from the main house so that he can enjoy the quiet. It's not that far, it's just last on the line of cabins. 

Sadie Adler

Sadie has targets painted on hay bales around the back of her cabin. Though the gang is far safer now, she still practices on her own. Usually just with throwing knives and tomahawks. She has a photo of her late husband hung in the cabin.

Leopold Strauss

His cabin has a large desk and a bookshelf full of ledgers, files, etc. The most important paperwork is checked and taken care of by him before being stored safely elsewhere.

Kieran

He has the smallest of the houses. Branwyn manages to get out of the stable often and ends up here every time. 

The Land: Located in roughly the same place as Beecher’s hope. The main house has a long path before it reaches the road, with the cabins along this road. The land stretches mostly behind and around the sides of the house. 

The Livestock:

Around 40 chickens. They are for eggs only and aren’t raised for meat.

20 Cows for beef and milk

10 pigs for pork (real sized pigs, not the itty bitty ones like in-game)

10-15 Sheep for wool
