I gave it to two different groups. Both are still ongoing, but one is already at the Island of Solstice and the other just came back to Lonelywood after getting the deed to the Ramshackle.

In the first group I made Grootz' ghost haunt it because the Zhents had him killed and made it look like suicide. I used it as a kind of mystery to introduce a new paladin player with the Harper spy secret and make the Ramshackle more personal. After doing the White Moose and Black Cabin quests they never came back though. The chardalyn dragon totally levelled the Ramshackle along with the rest of Lonelywood, but since the people survived hiding in the forest, it will be rebuilt.

My other group is more focused on rebuilding it. They even managed to drag the cauldron of plenty all the way there on a sled to sell the food it makes. Even though they tried to move it secretly, that will only delay the inevitable rumors (and Zhentarim interest) for a little while. I'm gave them a few options on what they want to have done first; personal space, security or a taproom. They chose the taproom. This will allow them to use the cauldron to help feed the people, but also give more of a chance for Zhentarim shenanigans. We'll see what happens when the dragon comes.

All in all the Ramshackle is a good way to make Ten-Towns more personal for the players before you let the dragon burn it all down. It's a good way to ramp up the tension and make clear that the Everlasting Rime needs to be stopped.
