⁠⁠
Rudyard Kipling was inspired to write The Jungle Book, The Days Work, The Seven Seas and Captains Courageous while living at Naulakha. A place has to be pretty remarkable to influence that kind of creativity.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Naulakha has been designated as a National Historic Landmark. There are artifacts that look like they belong in a big city museum. Instead of being ushered along in a crowd, they are there for you to enjoy in private. It is such a unique experience you will find nowhere else in the world.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I would highly recommend a stay at Naulakha. Know that the money you spend on a rental will go towards the good work that the Landmark Trust does. Your donation will allow them to continue to save historically important properties such as this one.⁠⁠

Rudyard Kipling wrote the Jungle Book while sittin

Rudyard Kipling wrote the Jungle Book while sitting at this very desk. I look out the window at the dark tunnel that cuts through the giant rhododendron bushes, it’s twisted branches beckoning you to enter. It looks like it will transport you to another world. I wonder if he walked down that garden trail looking for inspiration and saw the Jungle Book come alive in his mind.⁠

⁠⁠
⁠One of our favorite things to do at Naulakha was walk through the garden. These huge rhododendron bushes created a magical tunnel that was over 100 feet long ad lef out to a stone pergola. Can't you just picture The Jungle Book coming to life here? ⁠⁠

It’s a rainy day in Vermont. We are sitting in the study of Naulakha with a fire roaring. I read my kids the words of my favorite poem by Ruyard Kipling-⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“Now this is the Law of the Jungle — as old and as true as the sky;⁠⁠
⁠⁠
And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back —⁠⁠
⁠⁠
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
As I sit here, the reality that those words were written in this very room sink in and I think of how wild that is.⁠⁠

This past weekend we had the amazing opportunity to stay at Naulakha, the former home of Rudyard Kipling. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Kipling designed the house to look like a ship sailing through the mountains of southern Vermont. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The Landmark Trust USA restored Naulakha to it's former glory and it is now available for short term vacation rentals.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The house is more like a museum! Most of it is original. Kipling's golf clubs are in an upstairs closet and his artwork still hangs on the walls. ⁠⁠

I usually have to ask her what is on my head to get her to look at me. By this point, she had caught on and was not amused. But she's a beauty even when she's moody :)⁠⁠
