Candlewood is a private, serene 1,500 acre vacation style community located in rural Morrow County, just North of Mt. Gilead, Ohio. Within a short drive from both Columbus and Cleveland, Ohio, Candlewood Lake offers both vacation and full-time real estate in a secure, gated recreational community.

Candlewood is owned and operated by our homeowner's association comprised of Candlewood Lake members. The association has overseen the continual progress of our community from its humble beginnings with one home in 1973 to its current position as the second largest and highest valued municipality in Morrow County.

Wooded lots surround a 250-acre stream fed lake which is the heart of our community. The lake is just the right size for boating, water skiing, fishing, swimming or just taking a leisurely pontoon ride along our six miles of scenic shoreline.
