I like Lakeview Manor but only the basic house. I find more additions too luxury for my tastes. Windstad Manor would've been my favorite if not for it's location. I'd like it to be closer to Morthal in the swampy area. Also Lakeview Manor never been attacked in my game. I left the nearby necromancer and wolves undisturbed and they didn't bother me. It can be related to not fast traveling though
I had the Full Lakeview manor on my assassin and it always got attacked my cow and chickens died from a giant attack and my house gets attacked by bandits and dragons and when the bandits did attack my steward whos a mage used ice storm to kill the bandits hit shadowmere by mistake and he attacked her so i had to kill my steward to stop there fighting =/
