We have for Taverly a lodestone that takes you right next to your POH if it's in Taverly.
This is the cheapest of POH locations. Wouldn't it be nice if wherever your POH was, there was a lodestone for it? Maybe it doesn't have to be a lodestone, per say, but where your POH was, would show up on the lodestone network and it would function as a lodestone. So essentially there would be a lodestone for every POH location, or at least every portal, that only the one where your POH was, would show up on the lodestone selection.
We might use our POH more often if this were done.

I would certainly use my house more if it had a lodestone. Can't remember the last time I visited it, now that you mention. I think it has been over a month, literally. Support. Bob says:

the taverly house portal should be moved in my opinion. it was not originally available only added to help new players learn construction, but broke a longstanding tradition that access to POH was never by a convenient free teleport.

for example, rimmington portal used to be the basic one we all start out with. closest thing is port sarim lodestone which didn't even exist in 2006.

yanille portal was the next one but required something like watchtower tele (until they added lodestones later on)

Pollnivneach - need I say more? nothing to even tele here afaik

relleka - a cool location but without any form of tele other than the enchanted lyre

Brimhaven - same general issue (until lodestones added), only glory amulet got you here

it was never jagex's intention to have easy quick access to your house via a free tele... that's why we pay butlers to travel to the bank and back, etc. you always had to pony up money or runes for the tele to house spell/tablet. it's only in later times newer employees have made it easier without any respect to the way things were.

taverly is so close to the lodestone it's ridiculous. they kept in tradition for the newer locations as well:

priff - not near the lodestone at all, but you can tele to ithell. this used to require crystal tele seed but then later they added the attuned version which gave you unlimited teles. this imo is the 'high level' 'free tele' that players should be striving for

otot - this is the least accessible portal in the game. best you can do is create a raids group and tele to entrance to raids then run 5 mins thru the forest to your house, outside of house tele which you certainly would use

menaphos - it's in the ports district way on the west, not easily accessible by an unlimited tele afaik

so I don't really agree with adding a lodestone to the house... it would devalue home tele tablets and make love story quest reward less useful. taverly portal is an offense to nature and should be moved imo Buy Zemomarks / Chromatic Partyhats safely here

Maybe you have to unlock the lodestone by earning it somehow, through achievements or some other method. Look at it this way, I'm not saying there should be an active lodestone to every possible POH location for everyone. I'm saying there is one for your POH location and that's it. Why do you need to pay a lot of gp to get to your POH. Just think of this, why is every POH location teleport the same teleport tablet? How does THAT make any sense? So it's no wonder they are so darn expensive, they are anywhere teleports. Technically there should be a different teleport tablet for every different POH location. But I think that a lodestone to YOUR own POH is a simpler solution that also actually makes sense.

Just use this: https://runescape.wiki/w/House_Teleport
Faster as well. literally this lmao y do we need a lodestone to ur house when u can just make/buy house telly tabs
You can't "just" make teletabs. They do require certain construction and magic levels to make. Also they are not cheap, so you don't "just" buy them. A lodestone is free and requires nothing.
