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.

Idyllic Country Estate

My husband and I stayed at this property with our family members over the New Year's holiday (Dec. 27th to Jan. 3rd). We had the most amazing time. The house has such wonderful space (huge family room/dining area with an super-sized propane fireplace, large kitchen, and family members got their pick of the numerous bedrooms and bathrooms). Its central location to so many other CT towns makes the property even more special and of course, the immense acreage with the plentiful fields and ponds/lakes makes you feel you are on the most spectacular country estate. Our large mixed breed dog so enjoyed the countless walks we took and smelling every little thing on the property. We thought that we would love to come visit again during the spring/summer/fall to see how different the farm would look during those seasons. The property is so very special and Pauline and Kevin made us feel very "at home" which is the greatest compliment at a VRBO. Thank you for being such great hosts. We hope to return one day soon.

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!

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.

Family wedding

Our stay was outstanding! As incredible as a website looks, the farm was beyond our expectation. We had our family stay here on our daughter’s wedding weekend. This house is equipped with everything you need to host a gathering. We had the rehearsal dinner here. The staff was welcoming, kind, and helpful. Everything was clean and if we needed anything, it was immediately taken care of. I have nothing but incredible memories from staying at Whitegate Farm. We can’t wait until we get the opportunity to stay there again! It would be a great place for a family reunion gathering. Kevin, who is the innkeeper was very attentive and helpful. If you were considering this as an option, it will not disappoint.

Perfect Farm to Table Wedding Weekend!

We couldn’t be happier with our stay at White Gate Farm, where we hosted our family and friends, for a small wedding weekend celebration. The Inn was immaculate, such a gorgeous home and a stunning property filled with farm land and beautiful gardens to enjoy. Kevin helped make our weekend as perfect as it was. He was always available when we had questions, he assisted in setting up for our ceremony and reception. His communication made for a seamless weekend. Tami and her team of chefs and bartenders were amazing, our meal was outstanding! She was so great and accommodating to work with, from beginning stages up until the big day. We utilized the pool on Sunday for a cookout, which was the perfect way to wrap up our fun filled weekend with family and friends. We cannot thank the team at White Gate Farm enough for their hospitality, would definitely recommend for any couples looking to host a farm to table style wedding! Thanks again!

Exactly what we were hoping for

Three sisters and their families (youngest of the group was 22) from MA, ME, and NY. 11 people total. We’ve had a rough year, losing our dad this past winter. Wanted some time to regroup and enjoy another’s company. My family vacations often and we all agreed that it was the cleanest place we've ever stayed. Absolutely beautiful home, gorgeous kitchen, comfortable rooms and private bathrooms. Huge table by the window, used constantly for meals, impromptu card games, drawing, or whole group evening board games. The farm was a beautiful place to walk, the porch was a perfect place to sit and read. Idyllic all around. We were lucky enough to have Chef Tami prepare us dinner one evening and it was the best decision ever. Relaxing, casual, delicious, and we didn't have to do a thing- all for a price comparable to a nice dinner out. We rebooked for next year before we even left. Not one bad thing to say. Thanks to everyone at the farm, our family needed this so badly!

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.
