![]() ![]() To create your own memory à la Johnny and Baby, check out these family resort hotels that will flash you back in time to that simple, innocent era when kids swam in creeks, performed at talent shows, and sneaked out of their cabins at Kellerman’s Resort. Now I can’t help but think I made my own “Dirty Dancing ” moment! I’d ditched my mom to explore and discovered a beautiful wraparound porch and gazebo (I couldn’t resist singing and whirling around a bit before going inside again). It was actually filmed at a place called the Mountain Lake Hotel, in Virginia. Mountain Lake Hotel was the site for much of the on-location filming of the 1987 hit movie Dirty Dancing which starred Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. Like Kellerman’s the real Mountain Lake Lodge also offers many indoor and outdoor activities for guests. The Stone Lodge stood in for ‘Kellerman’s Resort’, a fictional mountain retreat in the Catskill Mountain of upstate New York. I flashed back to the Omni Mount Washington Hotel, a huge old-fashioned retreat in the mountains of New Hampshire. Dirty Dancing is set at a fictitious resort called Kellermans, in the Catskill Mountains (Upstate New York). Mountain Lake Lodge was the site for much of the on-location filming of Dirty Dancing. Watching “Dirty Dancing ” on my laptop, I found myself nodding every so often, saying, “Wait, that reminds me exactly of the Broadmoor Hotel, or Skytop Lodge, or…”īut my favorite déjà vu moment from the movie was when the guests danced on the gazebo. The movie also made me remember some fun experiences I’ve had across the United States in family resort hotel that are very much like Kellerman’s, the fictional 1960s Catskills resort where Baby vacationed with her family.
