About this property

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.

About the host

Hosted by Pauline Lord

Host profile image
White Gate Farm was purchased by the owner's mother Ruth Lord in 1974. The daughter of HF duPont of Winterthur, Ruth was drawn to the beautiful land. Her house -- now the inn -- has antiques from her father as well as artwork by her friends Andrew Wyeth and James Stevenson. In 2000, Ruth's daughter Pauline moved with her husband David Harlow from California to begin farming the land. With their crew they grow 55 different crops, all organic. They also raise turkeys, chickens for eggs and meat, and lambs. Chefs make prepared foods and pastries for the farm's online store, open year round, and they are happy to discuss preparing private dinners for Inn guests.

Why they chose this property

The comfortable inn has beautiful views in every direction and features several gathering spaces, a full kitchen and spacious bedrooms. Outside gathering spots include the front porch, the pool with patio and pool house, and a stone terrace on the back side of the Inn -- perfect for grilling and outdoor dining. The surrounding farm is immaculate and offers hiking, swimming, lake activities and visiting animals. We have passes to Niantic beaches for your use. Ask about Critter Tours, Geology & Bird Walks in the Woods, Astronomy Night and/or Kids' Camp!

What makes this property unique

While offering all the creature comforts of home, White Gate is paradise for people who love to learn about farming and nature -- from pond protozoa to planets and everything in between.
