Riverside cottage

The riverside cottage is an unmarked location in Appalachia in 2103. It is west of the fast travel point to the Kanawha Nuka-Cola plant, and south of the plant itself.

Layout
A destroyed, lime green car sits before the patio. After walking up the patio and into the building, the doorway leads into the main room. A Mister Handy lies destroyed on the kitchen floor, in front of the oven. The refrigerator has had its door removed. Turning right from the front door leads into the bedroom.

A single, sheet-less bed lies in the middle of the room, and a baby crib is next to the window. The northern bedroom wall has collapsed and exposes the bathroom. A dead radroach holding a walking cane and wearing a bowler hat sits on the toilet.

Notable loot
The dead radroach has a wedding ring in its inventory.

Appearances
The riverside cottage appears only in Fallout 76.

Behind the scenes
The location contains several references to the webseries Monster Factory by Justin and Griffin McElroy. Characters from their Fallout 4 series are mentioned at the house. The name "PAM" is spelled out in wooden blocks on top of the TV, and there is a dapper, wedding-ready radroach in the bathroom, a reference to the character Roachie. In the series, Pam claims that her real son is a coffee tin, and the same item can be found in a crib in the cottage, along with a box of Abraxo cleaner, which Pam suggested feeding to baby Shaun as a snack. There is also a hammer on the nightstand between the crib and the larger bed, alluding to Pam's idea to "take a hammer and fix the baby" because she thought Shaun was too small. The destroyed Mister Handy is a reference to Codsworth, whom Pam calls her "metal husband." There are no explicit references to Trash Hulk, Pam's organic husband, but the baby bottle in the fridge could be a nod to his existence given that Pam suggested feeding him with one before shrinking him to roughly the size of a baby.
