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.

Everyone in my family loved the White Gate Farm Inn! The owner and host, Pauline, greeted my daughter warmly upon arrival so check in was flawless. The rooms were all clean, comfortable and well appointed. The shower pressure was plentiful with plenty of hot water. These are the basics of what makes for a great stay. In addition however, the very large kitchen was of great use in preparing our holiday meal and the lovely and large sitting and dining room made for cozy gathering spaces. We enjoyed family chats by the fire, strolls on the grounds to visit the chickens and rapid fire games of backgammon. On Saturday we shopped for savory and sweet treats in the charming little shop. My family all agreed that we had found a true gem.

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 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.
