Candlewood Isle Lakefront Retreat: all-season, sleep 8, swim, boat, fish, tennis, lasting memories.

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.



Escape to Candlewood Lake and experience a classic New England retreat with all the comforts of home. Located in the highly coveted Candlewood Isle community, this charming multi-level lakefront retreat blends rustic character with thoughtful modern updates—perfect for families, couples, or anyone seeking a peaceful lakeside getaway.



The property itself is a standout: beautifully maintained, private, and set right on the water. Step from the house onto a cozy porch that opens to a sweeping grassy yard, leading down to a lakeside patio where you can enjoy morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or simply watch the boats drift by. With direct waterfront access, it’s the ideal setting to relax, reconnect, and truly live the lake life. Venture out for walks on the Isle and hiking trails close by.
