About Water Tower Grille and Smokehouse

The journey of Candlestone and the Water Tower Grille began in 1972, when a visionary group of local entrepreneurs saw potential in a quiet apple orchard and reimagined it into something truly special. What once bore fruit soon blossomed into a destination — a welcoming hotel and restaurant that offered guests more than just a place to eat or stay.

With its signature glass-walled dining room that looks out onto the peaceful orchard, the soothing sound of a cascading water fountain, and a one-of-a-kind sunken bar, Candlestone quickly earned a reputation for more than just aesthetics. Guests were drawn to the warm hospitality, exceptional culinary experiences, and the attention to detail that made every visit memorable.

But this was just the foundation of something bigger. Over time, the Candlestone vision grew — evolving from a beautiful local getaway into a beloved gathering place for the community and visitors alike. The Water Tower Grille added a modern touch to the legacy, blending elevated comfort food with the charm and history of its surroundings.

Today, Candlestone continues to honor its roots while embracing innovation, offering a setting where tradition, hospitality, and unforgettable dining experiences come together in perfect harmony.
