Mountain Lake – Virginia
Any movie buffs visiting today? Recognize this location?
Need a hint? Picture the second picture with water instead of grass in the foreground.
Still nothing? How about Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey? Dirty Dancing (1987) was filmed here. Obviously the water level has gone down. Apparently this lake’s water level plummets every few decades, then comes back. Nobody is quite sure why.
Update: Here’s their website, in case anyone is curious. Mountain Lake Hotel.
Awesome! I think I watched that movie daily during my sophomore year of college…

That’s about when I watched it last. (Let’s see, movie came out in 87, sophomore in college, that would make you… carry the nine… no idea.)
It’s a beautiful place. I’ll post a couple more photos including the main building later this week.
