Kaelyn's Bed & Breakfast

Kaeylyn's Bed & Breakfast is south-east of the town of Arefu on a hillside just below the entrance to Vault 106. It appears to have been burned down and is now used as a lookout for raiders. There are two to three raiders in the building or in its immediate vincinity, and another raider with a hunting rifle on a bridge north-east of the inn.

This can be an extremely dangerous spot on the first journey to Arefu, as the sniper near the top can do substantial damage before the player may be able to get within firing range. As well, there is often a raider with a Flamer in the building who can do quite a bit of damage very quickly by lighting the player on fire, a few times the raider on the bridge will carry a missle launcher (If this happens I suggest that you rush the house with a melee weapon for cover). There is a trip wire Trap (know as a swing Trap, in Traps article) in the front door that causes a object to swing down, this can cause large amount of damage many times if you run in to it or just stand there. There is no spot to rest here so it may be necessary to return to Megaton to heal up if the fight goes badly. By the destroyed building is a bridge which is also populated by a large number of raiders

As with most raider camps and posts, Kaelyn's is repopulated regularly. Fast traveling here puts the player by the mailbox (an explosive trap), well within range of the sniper, so be warned that a fight will begin immediately.

This location seems to be a spawning point for a number of different encounters. In the course of a single playthrough, the following were found there after a fast-travel: Deathclaw (twice), Outcasts patrol (once), Brotherhood of Steel patrol (twice), slavers (once) ( as well as any number of Raiders.  If more than one group is there at the same time, they will fight each other until wiped out, leaving you to pick off the survivors.  This can be a good source of equipment/caps early in the game, as well as getting Deathclaw hands for making a Deathclaw Gauntlet.
