You Can Truly Experience the Time of Your Life at the ‘Dirty Dancing’ Resort
As summer sizzles and you’re mapping out your vacation plans, sprint to your computer and book a getaway at the “Dirty Dancing” Resort. Seriously, you’ll have the time of your life—no joke!
Mountain Lake Lodge, nestled in Pembroke, Virginia, hosts three themed weekends that let fans step into the world where Frances “Baby” Houseman (played by Jennifer Grey) meets, dances, and falls head over heels for Johnny Castle (portrayed by Patrick Swayze). This gorgeous outdoor haven is set in the Blue Ridge Mountains—part of the Appalachian Mountain Range—surrounded by a stunning 2,600-acre nature preserve. At first glance, you’ll feel like you’ve walked straight into “Kellerman’s!”
“Mountain Lake Lodge is Kellerman’s,” says the hotel’s general manager, Lisa Thompson. “Every summer, we meet thousands of ‘Dirty Dancing’ enthusiasts who come from all corners of the globe just for our Dirty Dancing Weekends.” If you’re a true superfan, the themed weekends are an absolute must.
Packages start at $330 per person for the weekend based on double occupancy. And the perks are nothing short of phenomenal for any “Dirty Dancing” lover—you’ll dine in the very room where Baby splashed water on Robbie and tour the Virginia Cottage where Baby and her sister spent their family summer vacation. The activities are endless: think sock hops, watermelon tosses, trivia contests, scavenger hunts, and even a screening of the movie!
But wait, there’s more! Dance lessons and themed parties allow you to relive those iconic dance moments (sorry, your own Johnny will have to be a figment of your imagination). “It’s often a popular ‘girls’ getaway’ weekend, but we do see some husbands and boyfriends tagging along now and then,” Lisa adds. And for those couples who can’t get enough of the film, the resort also hosts weddings. Yes, you can say “I do” in the Mountain Lake ballroom, barn, or pavilion.
If you missed the June weekends, fear not—two more weekends are lined up for July and August 2016. So, dust off those dance moves and don’t forget your white Keds! While you’re there, be sure to swing by the lake where Johnny perfected that legendary lift. And remember, no one puts Baby in a corner!
