Kipling’s Carriage House

Features

The first floor includes a living room with a gas log fireplace and an open-concept kitchen/dining room. The kitchen is fully equipped, including a dishwasher, and seating at a tile counter with views of the meadow, forests, and valley to the south. The living room features wood paneled and comfortable seating.

The second floor includes one bedroom with a queen-size bed, a second bedroom with two twin beds, and a full bath.

In the basement, guests will find a ping pong table, a washer and dryer, and a stone-lined cold storage room, ideal for storing wine bottles.

The grounds feature perennials, shade trees, and a landscaped lawn area with Adirondack chairs. From the patio outside the kitchen, a stone pathway leads to the Naulakha Stable where Kipling’s horses, Nip & Tuck, were stabled. There is on-site or nearby access to sledding, snowshoeing, hiking, and cross-country ski trails. In the spring, guests can travel through Naulakha’s rhododendron tunnel while the flowers are in full bloom. Note that the clay tennis court will be closed for the 2026 season due to ongoing drainage work at the site.

Half a mile down the road is the 571-acre Scott Farm, a socially responsible business (Certified B Corporation) that is also a property of The Landmark Trust USA. During the fall, visitors can sample 130 varieties of ecologically grown heirloom apples, from Blue Pearmain (one of Thoreau’s favorites) to Esopus Spitzenburg (beloved by Thomas Jefferson). Pick your own apples or visit the Market to pick up a pie, a jar of freshly pressed cider, or Scott Farm’s apples, pears, plums, grapes, and quince. Located on the farm are stunning stone walls constructed by the expert builders at The Stone Trust, a nonprofit organization whose offices are at Scott Farm and whose mission is to preserve and advance the art and craft of dry stone walling. Scott Farm also has two public Chargepoint EV charging stations right at the farm so you can charge your vehicle at the most scenic charging station in Vermont.

Current 2026 work scheduled includes a new cedar roof for the pergola (at the end of the Rhododendron Tunnel) on November 9-24.
