*NOTE: (I originally had a great Dirty Dancing soundtrack to this vid but had to remove it because of copyright laws. Sooo, now it has Paralyzer as the music, which doesn't suit the vid at all, so imagine the music from the movie!)This is a short documentation of my vacation to Mountain Lake,the "real" Kellerman's Resort from the movie Dirty Dancing. Located in Southwest Virginia, USA, the resort offers beautiful surroundings, wonderful dining, and plenty of activities! While Mountain Lake is experiencing a drought and the lake level is low, it is still a wonderful place to visit. If you are a fan of the movie Dirty Dancing it is particularly fascinating to see for yourself where parts of the movie were filmed in 1986. I'm sharing this video footage and still photography with anyone who wishes to get an overview of the resort and all it has to offer (as I could not find any such video myself when I was deciding whether to go) and hope that you will enjoy your own visit should you choose to venture off the beaten path, up the mountains of Virginia, to "the top of the world" at Mountain Lake.

Oh, you're so lucky to be going back! Have fun! I would love to go again, you are right: no more driving once you are there. Very relaxing. I got an email saying the lake was coming back a bit...hopefully things will pick up then. glad you liked the vid - it was SO much better when I had the Dirty Dancing sountrack to it! :0(
It's true the Hotel's popularity went with the films and it is sad this is a great place and now the lake is gone, but it will be back it has dried up before, it is alarming how fast it drained through, last year I was fishing off the dock.
I live ten minutes from Mountain Lake. 20 years ago, it was amazing. But it's definitely run down. The only neat thing to see is the lake. It's dried up and looks like a giant crater.
