About this property

Charming Farm Abode with gourmet food and access to lake, trails & farm fun

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.

Lovely Stay

Our family had a lovely stay at the "Innlet." The grounds were beautiful and fun to explore, and the location was an easy drive to many restaurants and activities. The Saturday farm stand was wonderful and so convenient. We look forward to returning!

Idyllic Farm Stay

My family of four decided to go on a last minute getaway over a long weekend and White Gate Farm could not have been a more beautiful place to do so! The farm (and the absolute bounty at the Saturday market) exceeded every expectation. Easy access to Mystic was a bonus for our family. The “Innlet” was comfortable and very well suited to our needs. We hope to return again soon!

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

Host profile image
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.
