  • Welcome to Candlewood Isle!



    4-Season Lake Living for 8 — Backyard is the Lake, in a private lake-side gated community. Boat, swim, fish, explore… and make unforgettable memories. Fireplace in the den offers cozy afternoons/evenings in the colder months with the same spectacular lake views.
