Could not have dreamt of a better stay! Pauline’s property is so beautiful and relaxing, and the weekend access to the fabulous White Gate Farmstand makes for a delicious and convenient setup. The cabin was charming, clean, well-equipped, and totally comfortable. The lake access is every bit as convenient as it appears on the listing, and we are already looking forward to our next stay!

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.

Remote rustic chic cabin overlooking Lake Pattagansett with close proximity to farmers market, great restaurants and hiking trails. Easy to hop on 95 to other charming or beach towns. Staff at White Gate Farm welcoming and accommodating. A Win, Win 👍

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.

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.

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.

We enjoyed our stay at the lake house, beautiful setting right on the lake with farmland and fields. Great location for restaurants, beaches and sightseeing. The lake house is very cozy and quaint, and pet friendly. It could use a deep clean as there were cobwebs and dust bunnies but otherwise a very nice place to stay.

Another wonderful stay

This was our 3rd stay at the Ice House at White Fate Farm. As always, the rustic Ice House cabin was cozy, peaceful, and a comfortable summer getaway from the city. The little kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal. The foldout bed in the livingroom was comfortable enough for my teen son, while the bedroom in the loft is very comfy. The view from the large picture window is beautiful. There are kayaks and paddle boards to enjoy and a friendly school of sunfish that will swim right up to you. We loved going for walks around the picturesque grounds and over to the farm stand for their selection of goodies. The Ice House is a relaxing, rustic stay for nature and farm lovers.

About the host

Host profile image
My mom bought this farm in 1974. On it was an ice house, which, in the early days, had stored blocks of ice from the lake. The ice was delivered to "ice boxes" in area homes and businesses. The cabin was upgraded in 1975 and further improved in 2002.
