Winter is the perfect time to hunker down with a good book...or write your own! In this very room, Rudyard Kipling put pen to paper to create several of the stories, including The Jungle Book, that made him the first English language writer to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. When you stay at Rudyard Kipling's Naulakha, you can do the same.

Game night, anyone?

Rudyard Kipling may not have had Ticket to Ride available when he lived here at Naulakha in the 1890s, but if he did, he would have had a blast showing his houseguest Sir Arthur Conan Doyle how to play 😉

Naulalkha or any of our historic houses make evocative locations for your next friends game (or reading, or writing, or just chatting around the fire) weekend!

As you walk the path ahead of you in 2025, may all of your journeys through the woods of life turn out to be magical passageways bursting with flowers 😁

Psssst....want to live the metaphor? Make 2025 the year you book a stay at Rudyard Kipling's Naulakha. Crunchy leaves in Fall or explosion of color in Spring, Naulakha's Rhododendron Tunnel is a great place to "find yourself" any time of year!

Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall...no matter the season, the pergola at Rudyard Kipling's Naulakha provides inspirational views and a magical "retreat within a retreat" any time of year. The majestic stone assemblage looks straight out of old England but is actually an early 20th century addition to the property added by the Holbrooks, who owned Naulakha after the Kiplings. They also added the football field length Rhododendron Tunnel that forms the passageway between the home and pergola.

Kipling knew the value of this location, though, and had his "summer house" (a small gazebo) here during his time. The summer house still exists, too, just down the hill by the clay tennis court!
