Rudyard Kipling's historic Naulakha Stable opens as unique Vermont vacation rental
Naulakha Stable, built in 1896 for Nobel Prize-winning author Rudyard Kipling's horses Nip and Tuck, has been converted into an overnight rental in Vermont. The property, originally part of the larger Naulakha estate where Kipling lived with his family and staff in the 1890s, now accommodates two guests in its former hayloft. Below the rental, a preserved stable and a private display detail Kipling's life in Vermont, where he wrote The Jungle Books and other acclaimed stories. The stable was restored in the 1990s alongside the main estate and complements other vacation rentals on site: Naulakha and Kipling's Carriage House. Operated by The Landmark Trust, the grounds feature a clay tennis court, a rhododendron tunnel nearly the length of a football field, and expansive views. This unique lodging offers a direct connection to literary history.
