Wonderful Staycation

We are local to the area and wanted a mini vacation without having to travel far. The cabin was absolutely perfect! The gigantic picture window, the private dock, and quiet farmland surroundings were the highlights of the property. Seeing the fog dance across the lake during sunrise was magical!

The BEST mini vacation!

The icehouse at white gate farm is magical!! From the moment property manager Kevin Welcomed us, to the moment we left, we were home. The produce and breads made on the farm were exceptional. Our only regret is that we didn’t book a longer stay. Next time. And three WILL be a next time.

Our weekend getaway

Super quiet gorgeous view from the massive window overlooking the lake! We were free to roam around the grounds, being pet friendly was also a huge win as the dog loved running around by the lake and in the field. Kevin made check in and check out super easy. We will be back for sure! The farm stand Saturday morning was also amazing

Love this cabin

This was our second year staying at the ice house. The property is comfortable, cozy, and private, just what we were looking for. The private dock and beautiful views of the lake are very peaceful. The farm is across the street for a lovely stroll and the farm stand is open wednesdays and saturdays for produce and baked goods --yummy! Kayaks and a canoe are available for enjoying the lake. It is a lovely little rustic cabin, so expect some insect friends, which did not bother us at all. Definitely a good place to stay to interact with nature, which my family loved. The ice house is equipped with everything we needed for a low-key vacation.

A great place for a long weekend

A cozy cabin feel, able to jump in the water right outside the front door. Check-in process was extremely easy, very communicative, check out was super easy. My only suggestion would be that the cabin needs a good vacuum/dusting. Lost of cobwebs, dust bunnies. Overall great, relaxing stay!

Amazing lake getaway

We used this cabin, as well as the other two locations on property during our wedding weekend, and it was the perfect hideaway as the bride and groom to escape to and relax. We had access to kayaks and paddle boards, the lake was beautiful. Our ceremony was held just outside in front of lovely Pattagansett Lake. It is a small, rustic cabin. We hope to return again in the future to celebrate anniversaries. Thanks again!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Beautiful lakeside stay

Rustic cabin *right* on the lake. Walk out and be swimming in 5 seconds. Husband, dog, and I had very relaxing stay. Cooked in the cabin, swam in the lake, used paddle board provided. Just lovely. Beautiful location.
