Did you know that you can spend the night in a famous writers house among all his prized possessions? Yes! It’s true! Naulaka is the former home of Rudyard Kipling in Dummerston and it’s more than just the site of the first tennis court in Vermont. Here you can rent the beautiful home and immerse yourself in Kipling’s surroundings including his library, desk and so much more. This VT mansion is nothing short of inspiring.

In Dummerston, VT you’ll get the typical small town welcome. But there is something else here that is so, so incredible.
