Our country inn is also in the absolute center of the Chautauqua-Lake Erie Wine Trail. There are 5 wineries within 4 miles of the lodge and a total of 21 wineries within 15 miles. Candlelight Lodge is both near Lake Erie and near Lake Chautauqua in Western New York. A Country Inn, Candlelight Lodge is within one mile of Lake Erie and5 miles of Chautauqua Lake and 15 minutes from Chautauqua NY and Chautauqua Institution. Candlelight became a New York State Lodge in 1920 and a Westfield New York Country Inn in 1986.

 The  main Inn offers seven spacious suites not rooms (over 400 sq. ft. average), ideal for a single night or longer term vacation getaway. Candlelight Lodge suites have elegant antique furnishings with tables, desks, queen size beds, private baths, AC, DirecTV, wireless, mini refrigerators, coffee machines and microwave ovens.

With the moving of the Captain Storm House next door to Candlelight Lodge property we now have four large additional suites with modern Kohler baths offering fine accommodations as a Chautauqua bed  and breakfast. As a B&B for the night, a romantic getaway, or longer term vacation rental, the Captain Storm House makes a wonderful addition to Candlelight Lodging.
