Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Lake Carolina?
The best time to go to Lake Carolina is during the spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) months.

These periods offer pleasant weather with comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 18°C to 28°C, making it ideal for enjoying outdoor activities around the lake without the intense heat and humidity of summer or the cooler temperatures of winter. The spring brings blooming flora, while autumn showcases beautiful fall foliage, adding to the scenic beauty. This is a great time for couples to enjoy leisurely walks, boat trips, and dining outdoors.

For families, late spring and early autumn are also excellent. The lake's recreational activities, such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing, are all readily available and enjoyable in the milder weather.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our 'Fully refundable property' filter during your search to find the right Lake Carolina hotel for you.

Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips.
