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

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.

The host is very welcoming and the house is very comfortable and spacious

Wonderful home! Somehow both spacious snd cozy at the same time. We’d love to come back when it’s warmer! Kevin, our host was friendly and always available if we needed to reach out.

Everything. Warm welcome. Wonderful house. Easy communication. Couldn’t recommend more.

Overall, the house was perfect for our family of 13 Thanksgiving! Kevin was wonderful with helping with any little problems we came across. My sister and I visited the Gillette Castle, which is only a 30 minute Back road drive! I highly recommend it!We cooked a beautiful turkey Thanksgiving dinner. The turkey was delicious and raised right there on the white gate farm. I also ordered two gluten-free pies. The pecan rum was out of this world! I need that recipe!We hope to come back to this beautiful setting perhaps next Thanksgiving or the year after

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!

Wonderful home. Outstanding fireplace. Loved the size and number of bedrooms and bathrooms. Well stocked kitchen. On site manager responsive to questions and requests. The property is beautiful for walks.

Great time

Best place ever!

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.

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.

Lovely property, beautiful inn for our family of 14. We all enjoyed the pool, lake, badminton and green space. Special treat to see newborn baby chicks twice and hold them! Kitchen is very well equipped. Having a washer/dryer important too. Kevin and Pauline were helpful.

We have been back every year since 2020. Kevin and Pauline are the best. The property is wonderful

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.

Great property. We had family ranging from age 5 through 75 and everyone had things to do, places to go and space to disappear to.

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!

Peaceful setting, large rambling home with lots of private and communal space and a huge yard for playing, walks, or enjoying the working farm.

We were a group of 13 ( 9 adults and 4 children (2 dogs!)) who just stayed a week in the inn. The house is lovely and it is large and our big group slept very comfortably in the 7 bedrooms. We had a dinner prepared by Tami for 18 one night and it was delicious! Kevin, the property manager was just great. The pool was a favorite but everyone really loved the lake. There is a private dock and little beach and kayaks, paddle boards and a canoe just for the inn guests. The water was warm and the little beach was just sandy enough to make it great for the kids. We had people out on the lake early in the morning and after dinner many evenings. On the farm we saw beautiful gardens, small ponds, bee hives, lambs, chickens and turkeys. Kevin, Pauline, David, Corey and all the others we met on the farm were extremely nice to our group. We were able to participate in the moving of the lambs from one field to the other which the kids will never forget. One unexpected treat was that there were several different controllers for air conditioning so that we could adjust night time temperatures to match different choices. We went to the Essex Train, Gillette Castle, the Submarine Force Museum, Devils Hopyard water falls, the town of Mystic and Chester. All of these things were a 15-25 min distance from the farm. Also, as FYI, Costco and Stop and Shop are about 7 minutes away This was truly a wonderful week for our group and we highly recommend it to others.

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.

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.

Beautiful property. Lovely grounds. Lots of space for small groups to gather, and plenty of space for large groups. Property manager was very accessible and helpful. We hope to return next year. 5 stars all around

Our multigenerational long weekend loved our stay. Fab manager. House so well kitted out.

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 family of 15 couldn’t have been more pleased!The house accommodated us all with room to congregate in the great room and eat together at the large dining table.The kitchen was large and we were able to prepare meals and bake for the holidays!We were very comfortable in the bedrooms and the property was amazing.We were greeted upon arrival and checked in on to make sure we had everything we needed.The children loved seeing the chickens and rolling down the hill!!One of our best stays! Highly recommend.

WG farm was just lovely, and met our needs in every way possible. We wanted a NE farm experience for T-giving and we got it. Everything was beyond expected. Lovely time was had by all!

This was such a central location for my East coast family to meet up. Perfect lodging for folks coming from lots of different areas and spatial needs. We had a lovely time going to the farm stand and made a beautiful meal from the produce we picked up. Thanks for an amazing stay!

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!

Wonderful spot, the house and farm are really a hidden gem. We had a wonderful time the entire long weekend.

Whitegate Farm is beautiful. The staff were super friendly and always helpful. The food is delicious! Highly recommend this place for group outings

We loved our time at White Gate. Very peaceful!

This was our second year with a family reunion at White Gate Farm. Beautiful house, property and excellent host.

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.

We are a family of 45+ covering 4 generations that have been holding annual family reunions since 1960 when my grandparent were still alive. The Inn and grounds were exceptional and everything our group could have hoped for!

We had a wonderful time! Great access to the lake, ocean and pool. The house was the perfect size for our group of 14. We are looking forward to hopefully booking again.
