About this property

The charming "Innlet" is minutes' walk to a beach and dock on Lake Pattagansett or to seasonal farm animals or to trails through the woods. It adjoins the Inn at White Gate Farm and guests may book in conjunction with Inn guests or be completely independent. Prepare your own meals with our organic ingredients in the updated kitchen or purchase prepared meals, sourdough bread, pastries, eggs and more in the online store. On Saturdays the farm stand is open from 9 to 2 and on some summer Saturdays FarmFest occurs from 3 to 7 with live music, hot pizza and a raw bar. Guests can fish in the pond or lake or use the kayaks and stand up paddleboards, which are shared with other guests.

Family Fall Getaway

We really enjoyed our weekend stay at the White Gate Farm. My kids loved the “critter tour” with Kevin. We were also there for Farm Fest that had wood fired pizza, live music & a family friendly atmosphere. Everyone we talked to was kind and helpful, including Pauline, and another employee Cory that talked with us on one of our morning walks around the farm. The only drawbacks were I personally prefer a softer bed (I purchased an egg crate and was immediately reimbursed), and we thought there would be double kayaks but there were only single and our kids were too young for that. Overall it was a super friendly, inviting stay that provided much more than just a place to sleep. Thank you!

Great spot with access to so much!

Wonderful little addition to the farm property. The staff is incredible. The food on the farm is amazing, don’t miss it! Staying here really helped us slow down life. Can’t recommend the property enough!

Weekend getaway

The farm could not be more lovely or peaceful. My son and I had a great time exploring the property and visiting the animals. Hard to believe you are only a few minutes away from downtown Niantic. The innlet was cozy and clean.

About the host

Hosted by Pauline Lord

Pauline's mother Ruth Lord purchased White Gate Farm in 1974. Pauline and her husband David Harlow moved from California in 2000 to turn it into a working organic farm. After Ruth died in 2014, they turned her house into an Inn and the converted ice house into a "Rustic Lakeside Cabin." They have just added the "Innlet." All three spots are listed on VRBO.

Why they chose this property

This property provides serenity, contact with nature and wildlife, a look at an organic farming operation and delicious prepared food. Special arrangements can be made for a Critter Tour, Astronomy Night, a Stand Up Paddleboarding lesson or Drumming.
