Historic Inn on a 100 Acre Organic Farm with Lake, Private Pool & Gourmet Food

The Inn at White Gate Farm is located in southeastern Connecticut on 100 acres of growing fields, woods and ponds, with extensive lake frontage. In these pandemic times, we offer the 7- bedroom farmhouse and/or cabin on the lake as a glorious safe retreat. We request a 3-night minimum.

White Gate Farm offers a wide array of tasty, nutritious produce, eggs, chickens, prepared foods and pastries. We would be glad to assemble special orders for you to enjoy as is or cook in your kitchen. Or the farm chef would be glad to make you dinner.

You are invited to explore the grounds, hike the trails in the woods, and visit the farm animals. One of the farmers will be happy to give you a tour, explaining our organic growing methods or highlighting whatever you are interested in. Summer visitors can enjoy the swimming pool with its own pool house and the glorious lake + dock.

The core of the house was built in 1765 and features the original fireplace. Each room has a private bath. There are 2 working gas fireplaces.

We rented the entire Inn for a long weekend. The kitchen was fully equipped and easy to work in. Kevin, the Inn Keeper was fantastic. He was able to answer any questions we had and offer recommendations.We also had a family memorial service and the the Inn catered the event for us. Tami G, the head chef was amazing to work with! It was nice having the Farm Stand near by for the wonderful sourdough bread along with other delicious backed goods on Saturday/Sunday. We will definitely be back to White Gate Farm!

We are three families with kids and we just returned from our second visit. The house, the pool, the lake, the organic farm stand that we could not stop going to, and super cool hosts make it a very special and absolutely perfect getaway. We hope to be back every summer!

Perfect comfort in large, centrally air-conditioned house, with wonderful outdoor areas as well .. especially the breezy front porch, the cared-for pool, and the short walk to the lakefront. There was nothing missing to make a perfect stay for our family of 11 adults of several generations.

Family Gather

Used this property for a family gathering of 14 spanning 3 generations. Layout was great. Plenty of room for meals, visiting, games, relaxing by the pool and downtime. Good location for day excursions and many convenient restaurants options. Farm and farm-based activities were unique and memorable. Host was outstanding. Definitely recommend.

Great property, great people.

Beautiful, well kept organic farm with plenty of property to explore. When not in the swimming pool , the lake was a big plus for the kids. Boating, paddle board, swimming. The farmhouse is spacious with room for privacy or gathering. We cooked gourmet meals in the well appointed kitchen. Would recommend White Gate Farm for any gathering.

Our second stay, just as wonderful

We are an extended family of 11 adults from surrounding states, and booked a stay over a 3 day weekend. It is the perfect place to spend time together with enough room to spread out and do your own thing as well. Gorgeous house, clean, and so much room. The farm stand right outside your door, fields and trails, animals, scenery-- perfect. We again asked Chef Tami to provide a dinner and it was again such an amazing treat. Thanks to Kevin and the staff of the farm for another memorable stay- we have already rebooked for next year!

A great experience!

We had a wonderful time and the rooms were perfect for us - everyone had their own space and the large living room/dining room was an amazing gathering space for all 12 of us. Everything we needed was there and Kevin is fantastic - he made sure we were comfortable at all times. My only regret is not having the chef prepare us a dinner - we tasted the pizza in the farm store and it was the best we have ever had!!! Pauline and David are lovely and I highly recommend a stay at this beautiful inn.

A wonderful house in a great location

Our family of 12 stayed at White Gate for a long weekend. It was very comfortable, lovely bedrooms for sleeping peacefully and a fabulous kitchen . The pool was great for evening swims and the fireplace was amazing. The farm stand was a huge hit with prepared food, beautiful vegetables, yummy desserts and the animals to visit / hiking trails / lake for swimming, fishing, paddle boarding/ and grounds for games and equipment for games. The manager Kevin, was very helpful and always available. Our family is hoping to go again next year. White Gate farm Inn is special.

Family get away

The property was perfect for our annual family get together. Most of the time was spent in the pool area, which felt very safe and comfortable. It was fenced in all around, and the pool house included a bathroom, outdoor shower, refrig, and sink. The house itself provided lots of spaces to hang out, a very well supplied kitchen, and a large dining table that sat all 14 of us. Around the farm the kids enjoyed seeing the animals and the tractors. Kevin, the property manager, was very helpful when we arrived, helped us to settle in. We loved everything about the property and would consider going back again next year.

White Gate Wedding

The inn and farm grounds are just beautiful. The staff were so accommodating and went well beyond what is normally expected when renting a property. The inn felt more like a home that a rental. The kitchen was so well appointed as were the rooms. Moving on to the outdoors the lake, pool fire pit, games, grill and picnic tables added up to a wonderful stay. Last but not least the staff were amazing, Tami, Kevin & Pauline - always at the ready. Always answered text messages promptly and did everything to make it the perfect wedding. Many thanks!
