You now have a chance to rent the Vermont home of Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), the Nobel Prize winning British Indian author.

Kipling wrote some of his most works, such as Jungle Books and Captain Courageous, in this house near Brattleboro, which he acquired in 1892 and named Naulakha, Hindi for precious jewel.

The house, which had fallen into disrepair, was acquired and restored by the Landmark Trust USA to much of its original state, including furnishings.

You can stroke Kipling's billiard's table, brass beds, or slouch in his black leather chair  or simply soak in his deep bath tub.

The price tag: $250 to $435 per night.
