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.

White Gate Farm was a fantastic place for my large family to come together. Close to home, yet felt like we were in the Vermont countryside. Great host and clean and well equipped property.

The Farm House was the perfect setting for our family reunion, 10 adults, 4 children. Most of our time was spent in the pool area, which is very family friendly. The house is very comfortable, bed rooms are large and many bathrooms throughout. The kitchen is very well stocked, plenty of service for 14 people and all the gadgets we needed. The kids also enjoyed walking the grounds and seeing the animals on the farm.

Perfect destination for active families who love outdoor sports and relaxed comfortable evenings. Wholesome organic foods with incredibly delicious baked goods. Lots of hiking, swimming, kayaking. The small army of staff who sustain the farm are uber friendly and willing to answer questions and show off the critters . A nearby trip to Mystic aquarium should not be missed.

Wonderful stay!!

We had such an amazing time here and are planning to return for our next family vacation! The house was clean and spacious and the communication was phenomenal. Everyone we interacted with at the farm was kind, caring, and helpful. There is so much to do at the farm and in the surrounding area. We could not recommend this place more! Best vacation ever!

The Inn and all the staff went so far beyond our expectations. Our daughter and son in law had their wedding celebration on the farm last week. The inn itself is absolutely beautiful. The surroundings are idyllic. We couldn’t have had a better experience staying here.

We rented the full Inn as well as the "inlet" property attached to it for our wedding at the farm. Our family and close friends spent the weekend with us and enjoyed the pool, grounds, and farm stand. I don't think anyone left without some baked goods and vegetables. Our family raved about the experience and the food. The kitchen is large and well out-fitted with anything one could need for cooking. This allowed for us to make a huge family breakfast which everyone enjoyed in the dining room. The rooms all have their own special character and the beds are all extremely comfortable. The staff were accommodating and friendly. I highly recommend the Inn for your next event or family gathering.

Fabulous property

This was our second visit, and we loved it just as much. The farm has so many great features ... the lovely indoor decor; the expansive, interesting outdoors; the well-tended pool; a kitchen comfortable for multiple cooks; central air conditioning; easy proximity to shopping, but total quiet at the site. I could go on listing advantages, but no more space. We were 11 adults of 3 generations.
