Historic Inn in una spettacolare fattoria biologica di 100 acri con lago e piscina privata

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.

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!

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.
