Great Family Getaway

This was such a central location for my East coast family to meet up. Perfect lodging for folks coming from lots of different areas and spatial needs. We had a lovely time going to the farm stand and made a beautiful meal from the produce we picked up. Thanks for an amazing stay!

Our second stay, just as wonderful

We are an extended family of 11 adults from surrounding states, and booked a stay over a 3 day weekend. It is the perfect place to spend time together with enough room to spread out and do your own thing as well. Gorgeous house, clean, and so much room. The farm stand right outside your door, fields and trails, animals, scenery-- perfect. We again asked Chef Tami to provide a dinner and it was again such an amazing treat. Thanks to Kevin and the staff of the farm for another memorable stay- we have already rebooked for next year!

Family Gather

Used this property for a family gathering of 14 spanning 3 generations. Layout was great. Plenty of room for meals, visiting, games, relaxing by the pool and downtime. Good location for day excursions and many convenient restaurants options. Farm and farm-based activities were unique and memorable. Host was outstanding. Definitely recommend.

Family wedding

Our stay was outstanding! As incredible as a website looks, the farm was beyond our expectation. We had our family stay here on our daughter’s wedding weekend. This house is equipped with everything you need to host a gathering. We had the rehearsal dinner here. The staff was welcoming, kind, and helpful. Everything was clean and if we needed anything, it was immediately taken care of. I have nothing but incredible memories from staying at Whitegate Farm. We can’t wait until we get the opportunity to stay there again! It would be a great place for a family reunion gathering. Kevin, who is the innkeeper was very attentive and helpful. If you were considering this as an option, it will not disappoint.

Fantastic stay at the White Gate Farm!

We are three families with kids and we just returned from our second visit. The house, the pool, the lake, the organic farm stand that we could not stop going to, and super cool hosts make it a very special and absolutely perfect getaway. We hope to be back every summer!

Perfect Farm to Table Wedding Weekend!

We couldn’t be happier with our stay at White Gate Farm, where we hosted our family and friends, for a small wedding weekend celebration. The Inn was immaculate, such a gorgeous home and a stunning property filled with farm land and beautiful gardens to enjoy. Kevin helped make our weekend as perfect as it was. He was always available when we had questions, he assisted in setting up for our ceremony and reception. His communication made for a seamless weekend. Tami and her team of chefs and bartenders were amazing, our meal was outstanding! She was so great and accommodating to work with, from beginning stages up until the big day. We utilized the pool on Sunday for a cookout, which was the perfect way to wrap up our fun filled weekend with family and friends. We cannot thank the team at White Gate Farm enough for their hospitality, would definitely recommend for any couples looking to host a farm to table style wedding! Thanks again!

Exactly what we were hoping for

Three sisters and their families (youngest of the group was 22) from MA, ME, and NY. 11 people total. We’ve had a rough year, losing our dad this past winter. Wanted some time to regroup and enjoy another’s company. My family vacations often and we all agreed that it was the cleanest place we've ever stayed. Absolutely beautiful home, gorgeous kitchen, comfortable rooms and private bathrooms. Huge table by the window, used constantly for meals, impromptu card games, drawing, or whole group evening board games. The farm was a beautiful place to walk, the porch was a perfect place to sit and read. Idyllic all around. We were lucky enough to have Chef Tami prepare us dinner one evening and it was the best decision ever. Relaxing, casual, delicious, and we didn't have to do a thing- all for a price comparable to a nice dinner out. We rebooked for next year before we even left. Not one bad thing to say. Thanks to everyone at the farm, our family needed this so badly!

We can not be more impressed with all the facilities at White Gate Farm. It starts with the staff, they’re all absolutely wonderful and helpful every step of the way. The space is perfectly clean, and so cozy on a warm or cold day (we got both). The fireplace is AMAZING. Everyone was just so happy with their experience here. We will definitely be back! P.S.

A wonderful house in a great location

Our family of 12 stayed at White Gate for a long weekend. It was very comfortable, lovely bedrooms for sleeping peacefully and a fabulous kitchen . The pool was great for evening swims and the fireplace was amazing. The farm stand was a huge hit with prepared food, beautiful vegetables, yummy desserts and the animals to visit / hiking trails / lake for swimming, fishing, paddle boarding/ and grounds for games and equipment for games. The manager Kevin, was very helpful and always available. Our family is hoping to go again next year. White Gate farm Inn is special.

A great experience!

We had a wonderful time and the rooms were perfect for us - everyone had their own space and the large living room/dining room was an amazing gathering space for all 12 of us. Everything we needed was there and Kevin is fantastic - he made sure we were comfortable at all times. My only regret is not having the chef prepare us a dinner - we tasted the pizza in the farm store and it was the best we have ever had!!! Pauline and David are lovely and I highly recommend a stay at this beautiful inn.

White Gate Wedding

The inn and farm grounds are just beautiful. The staff were so accommodating and went well beyond what is normally expected when renting a property. The inn felt more like a home that a rental. The kitchen was so well appointed as were the rooms. Moving on to the outdoors the lake, pool fire pit, games, grill and picnic tables added up to a wonderful stay. Last but not least the staff were amazing, Tami, Kevin & Pauline - always at the ready. Always answered text messages promptly and did everything to make it the perfect wedding. Many thanks!

Family get away

The property was perfect for our annual family get together. Most of the time was spent in the pool area, which felt very safe and comfortable. It was fenced in all around, and the pool house included a bathroom, outdoor shower, refrig, and sink. The house itself provided lots of spaces to hang out, a very well supplied kitchen, and a large dining table that sat all 14 of us. Around the farm the kids enjoyed seeing the animals and the tractors. Kevin, the property manager, was very helpful when we arrived, helped us to settle in. We loved everything about the property and would consider going back again next year.
