Guests enjoy expansive views of the lakethe Berkshire foothillsand neighboring vineyards from the dining areas and guest rooms. In additionguests have access to the waters of the lake through the Hopkins Inn beachlocated 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 over forty five years. Their sonToby Fosslandgrew up at the inn and has worked alongside his parents full-time since 1991.

The restaurant is renowned for its contemporary Austrian cuisinereflecting Franz's heritage. Many recent additions to the menus are distinctly American in flavor. The picture windows in the Victorian dining room offer a panoramic view of Lake Waramaug. When the weather is pleasantguests may dine outside on a flagstone terrace shaded by a grand horse chestnut tree.
