I just finished the Red Eagle questline and the first thing that popped into my head was: "Rebel's Cairn would be the coolest home in Skyrim".

Think about it: secret passage into your main hall (that requires the Red Eagle sword), spacious place (with very few skeletons/clutter)... did I mention it has a secret entrance?

So, I was wondering if anyone knew how I could tell whether it resets itself? Do I leave a junk sword in the chest and then just return after a week or two in game time? I'm guessing it doesn't reset because there were no creatures in the first area, which means it would only be the undead in the cave/crypt.

Anyway - thanks for reading! I'm hoping when the CK comes I can turn this place into my own personal fortress

All bandit outposts and camps reset.
