Rudyard Kipling built a house shaped like a ship's bridge above the Connecticut River and wrote The Jungle Book and Captains Courageous in it, about as far from India as English prose gets. Vermont winters gave him the first snow he ever loved and a feud with his brother-in-law that ended in court and drove him back to England in 1896. The house is intact, and you can rent it and sleep in his bedroom.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
