Lake Waramaug

Sitting high above the northern shore of Lake Waramaug, the Hopkins Inn has welcomed travelers since 1847. Guests enjoy expansive views of the lake, the Berkshire foothills, and neighboring vineyards from the dining areas and guest rooms. In addition, guests have access to the waters of the lake through the Hopkins Inn beach, located a short distance from the inn. Adirondack chairs on the lawn provide a pleasant afternoon's rest and are just steps above the sandy shoreline.

Franz and Beth Schober have owned and operated the inn for more than thirty years. Their son, Toby Fossland, grew up at the inn and has worked alongside his parents full-time since 1991. The restaurant's menu is decidedly Continental, reflecting Franz's Austrian heritage.

It is not unusual for guests to visit frequently throughout the year or for weeks at a time. There are eleven guest rooms and two apartments available for lodging all year. The restaurant is open from late March through January 1 of each year.

Washington, CT

Incorporated in 1779 the town of Washington encompasses the following Villages:

Washington Depot, Washington (or Washington Green), New Preston, Marbledale

The present town was incorporated in 1779, being named in honor of General George Washington, who traveled through the area several times during wartime. For many years, Washington was principally a farming community. Among early local industries were ironworks and quarries as well as small mills and factories run by waterpower along the Shepaug and Aspetuck Rivers.

Washington is one of Connecticut's most scenic small towns, tucked into the foothills of Connecticut's Berkshire Mountains and accented by the natural beauty of Lake Waramaug, the Shepaug River, and the Bantam River.

The town of Washington covers 38.7 square miles of Litchfield County, a section of the state known for its rolling hills, open space, and cultural pursuits.

Washington is a socially, culturally and economically rich community supported by a host of generous, caring citizens. They contribute time and money to ensure strong educational systems, quality library services, intelligent land use planning, first-rate emergency care and a wide range of intellectual and recreational activities.

Kent, CT

Welcome to the Town of Kent. Incorporated in 1739, Kent has had a history as a farming community and thriving iron ore producer. It is now a rural community of about 3,000 residents located in Litchfield County in the scenic northwest corner. It has a lively mix of rural life, education and the arts.

Warren, CT

Originally settled in 1737, as part of the Town of Kent, Warren became a separate town in 1786 and was named in honor of the Revolutionary War hero Joseph Warren, who died in the Battle of Bunker Hill.

Warren is the least populated community in the Greater New Milford region, with just over 1,260 inhabitants. This quiet community of homes scattered along hills and valleys, is bound by the spectacular shores of ravishing Lake Waramaug, the second largest natural lake in the State, spanning 672 acres. The name Waramaug means “good fishing place” in the local Native American language and with good reason as enthusiasts can be spotted year round - even ice fishing in the dead of winter. Warren maintains the charm of an old New England town with rustic scenery and remarkable water views. The serene, rural setting creates a haven for those seeking the tranquility that nature provides for leisure or activity. With the beckoning of such environmental treasures as Wyantenock State Forest and the picturesque Lake Waramaug, Warren offers breathtaking surroundings and the striking panoramic vistas of the Shepaug and Upper Shepaug Reservoirs. Warren is truly suited to those attracted to outdoor activities such as natural hikes and walks as well as the sheltered shade of trees for relaxing recreational activities.
