I find Safe as Houses tends towards decent thresholds. I'm getting about an 11 on the cabin. It goes up if you say they've lived there longer than a year, and it goes down if you count it being a shared residence and being used for something other than hunting.

I've done the work for some homes of family members, and gotten some pretty high numbers: Granddad's threshold is easily 16, and likely a bit higher. If the house's inhabitants are religious (particularly in certain ways) the numbers go way up. You don't actually need generations.

If you want a crappy threshold, you either need a rapid turnover apartment, abuse, or supernatural involvement. If you don't have one of those, you're likely to have at least a 9.
