When is the best time to go to Lake Arrowhead?

The best time to go to Lake Arrowhead is during the summer months, from June to August, or in the autumn, from September to October. Summer offers the warmest weather, ideal for enjoying the lake itself. You'll find plenty of opportunities for boating, swimming, and fishing. The days are long, allowing for extended outdoor activities and evenings spent by the water. This period is particularly good for families looking for a classic lakeside holiday with lots of sunshine. For those who appreciate cooler temperatures and stunning natural beauty, autumn is a fantastic choice. The surrounding forests change to vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows, making for picturesque drives and walks.

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 24-48 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 Arrowhead hotel for you.

Boyne Mountain Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the Chalet Edelweiss and were very pleasantly surprised with the size of the room and the ammenities offered. Upon checkin we received our unlimited passes for the Ski-lift and Skybridge, along with free bike rentals, yoga classes and fun Chalet activities. When we came back to our room after dinner we found smore's kits for each of us along with our own sticks to toast them at the fire right outside our door. We had a great weekend enjoying the area and staying on Boyne property."

Best Western Gaylord

10/10 Excellent

"Was there for a business trip. 2 nights, 3 rooms. Check in was easy, breakfast was fine. Rooms were clean. Hot tub and pool were good. The hot tub was hot, the jets were strong, and it was clean. The 2nd night, the hot tub was tepid, so we alerted the staff. Evidently, a breaker had flipped, but they fixed it and the issue was fixed within the hour."

Travelodge by Wyndham Gaylord

8/10 Good

"The facility is a little rundown. Some efforts of repair were underway. But if you don't mind that, it is perfectly reasonable. Room was clean, bed and pillows were comfortable. TV and channels or better than I expected, bathroom was clean. There was coffee but no coffee maker. There was an ironing board but no iron. But if you can overlook some of these items, the price was very reasonable for the area."
