Rustic Lakeside Cabin at White Gate Farm

Beautiful private cabin, just 1 foot from Lake Pattagansett, has its own beach and dock. Suitable for 2 adults or couple with kids. Queen bed is on the second floor. Through the huge window you can view the lake from both floors. The kitchen includes fridge, sink, stove and oven, and all kitchenware needed for cooking. The picnic bench, grill and fire pit right outside are perfect for family dinners. If you will be here on Saturday, you may want to order prepared foods, pastries, produce, eggs, meat and more from our on-line store (open Tuesday 12:01 am to Wednesday midnight.)
Swimming in the lake, fishing, hiking on nearby trails and exploring the farm are some of the activities available for our guests. We also provide a paddleboat, 2 stand up paddle boards and a kayak -- items which are shared with the inn guests (at their separate beach.)

Peaceful lakeside stay
We came with our dog for a few days and couldn’t have had a more relaxing time! The lake was quiet & a beautiful backdrop for a relaxing stay. Close to town for groceries and supplies, but still very private. Great place to disconnect for a while!

Ice House Stay
The cottage was everything we were expecting and more. Check-in was easy and Kevin was super helpful. The location was great and our dog loved swimming in the lake. This is definitely a place we would look into renting again.

Beautiful & Relaxing
A very special place. The lake was lovely, Kevin was awesome, and we enjoyed Fall Fest on Sunday, where we ate pizza, listened to live music, and just enjoyed the great weather on the farm. A perfect place if you're looking for a short escape from all the business of life!

A beautiful and lovely stay, right on the lake! The ice house is secluded so you feel like it's just you. But you can walk up to the farm stand for breakfast and stroll the idyllic grounds. If you're there for a farm fest night- lucky you! A lovely weekend getaway!

A great stay in an amazing location
Our family gathered at White Gate for a reunion. It was the perfect choice. We were in both the cabin and the inn. Those in the cabin loved the view, the fishing dock, the water toys and the privacy. It slept 3 and was a treat to relax and play right at the beautiful lake, which was great for fishermen, swimmers, paddle boarders and to just hang out. It is a very special cabin.

Heaven on Earth
We had an amazing stay! The cabin was lovely, we spent the 2 days we stayed there fishing (and my kids were thrilled to catch their first fishes from the dock), swimming in the lake, enjoying the huge backyard, and visiting the farm. Again, my kids really enjoyed seeing the chicks and lambs in this beautiful property. Pauline, the property manager, has really been accommodating and responsive, which was really appreciated. We would have loved to stay longer, so we will definitely have to come back!

Perfect little lake getaway
It’s amazing. I still wish I could be sitting at that huge window looking out at the rain on the lake. It’s such a charming little spot literally right on the water. We loved waking up in the morning and walking out on to the end of a dock for a little moment of meditation. We got married on property and this was our “honeymoon suite”. Zero regrets! The staff on the farm are absolutely amazing and really complete the experience!

Peaceful getaway
We needed a place to decompress after our son's wedding, and this was perfect. Yes, it's "rustic", but it has everything we needed. The end of the dock became Our Spot, both for morning coffee and evening talks. We watched the rowing crew camps practicing every morning (so interesting). The whole spot is SO private. (We still want to know more about the ice house renovation history). We were able to tour the whole farm (chickens, lambs, etc). Recommend this spot, wholeheartedly.

a little paradise on the lake
this has been our 2nd visit to this property. We spent the long Memorial weekend at the lake. the Weather was a bit chilly and we could not swim at the lake (we actually swam at this lake last year during one May weekend) but we absolutely enjoyed kayaking, birdwatching, walking around the magnificent and well managed farm. the view on the lake (either from in or outside the house) is just stunning and you can not move your eyes away. We love visiting Mystic Museum each year and I am sure we will be back again next year. Kevin (property manager) is excellent.

Great location.
Everything was great but, there were a couple of hiccups. We had to deal with too many hornets inside the cabin. I killed 37 in one day. Just a note to the owner, the front door saddle needs to be replaced. It was quite loose, we just avoided stepping on it but, it could be a problem if not addressed.

So many things to like about this cabin!
The “icehouse” at White Gate Farm was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway in CT. Right on the lake with incredible views, a fire pit, and two-story windows in the cabin. This spot was close to everything but quiet and secluded also. The cabin was cozy and quiet with the opportunity to sit fire-side just feet from the water. I spent hours outside by the fire and caught the sunrise on one side of the cabin and the sunset on the other. White Gate Farm across the street is also a beautiful location to check out and if you are lucky enough to be there on Saturday when their farm stand is open, the fresh veggies and pastries are top-notch! I had the berry scone and a morning glory muffin – an ideal fall breakfast! It was super easy for me to get to the Coast and a couple concerts at Mohegan Sun. Pauline and Kevin were great to work with and made me feel very much at home!

Peaceful cabin by the lake
This cabin is a little gem. We stayed for the 4th of July holiday, in need of a quiet place the stay. We were greeted by Kevin and shown around the place. The cabin is cozy and clean. While it is a bit rustic (which we loved), it has all of the comforts of home. The lake is so peaceful. We loved sitting out on the dock and interacting with the fish, birds, and dragonflies. There were lovely waterlilies and other flowers in bloom. We swam and kayaked in the lake and made friends with a little school of fish. My teenage son had such a good time. Definitely visit the farm across the road during your stay. Their pastries, cheeses, and produce are amazing. Sadly, we missed the pizzas! We walked the farm and met the lambs. Pauline, the property owner, invited us back to help herd the sheep to their barn. That was so much fun. Needless to say that we loved our stay and were a little sad to go. Definitely hoping we can go back next year.
