30% of the accommodations are pet-friendly. In addition to the lodge, there are several cabins available as well. With limited cell coverage getting outdoors and unplugging was easy. (I have AT&T) When The Moody family founded Mountain Lake Lodge, they wanted to encourage outdoor activity and enjoyment of the fresh mountain air. The resort does have Wifi if you require it, but I didn’t have cell service on the mountain. Mountain Lake Lodge has its own micro-climate with temperatures typically ten to fifteen degrees lower than at the bottom of the mountain making AC virtually unnecessary. Holding true to its heritage, little has changed since that time and that’s a large part of the resort’s charm.Īccommodations in the Stone Lodge are clean and comfortable but there’s no television or air conditioning in the rooms and that’s by design. The lodge was built in 1956 and has been a family-friendly mountain escape ever since. I had the added treat of dining there the night Mike the barman was working – he’s like a walking director’s cut of the film and shared fun film facts and trivia. I enjoyed a wonderful fresh burger in Stoney Creek Tavern while watching Dirty Dancing. Harvest, Stoney Creek Tavern, and Mary’s Market & Café serve up a variety of options featuring locally sourced farm-to-table meal choices. Guests can stop by the Adventure Center to plan their fun.Īdditionally, there’s excellent dining at Mountain Lake Lodge too. There’s disc golf, tennis, bocce ball, a giant inflatable water slide and a generous calendar of fun activities to keep the entire family happy and occupied. There are over 22-miles of hiking trails and of course the picturesque mountain scenery. Families will find ample activities like swimming, bubble ball, archery tag, and Tree Top Adventures. The rustic setting and cozy lodging offer many options for tailoring a mountain getaway. The resort is a destination for families and outdoor adventurers. (Clip below.Though Dirty Dancing draws fans from around the globe, there’s much more to Mountain Lake Lodge. According to local news sources, residents displaced by the Dirty Dancing hotel fire were taken to the local Sullivan County Community College fieldhouse after the weekend blake, while firefighters continued to battle the flames. The cabins were once the prominent Brown's hotel, which served many New York City summer travelers in the Borscht Belt's heyday. There was no actual Kellerman's resort, but several of Dirty Dancing's scenes were set at what was most recently the Grandview Palace condominiums on state Route 52 in Loch Sheldrake. The movie recalled the once prominent "borscht belt" of upstate New York, and its many resorts, with the film set in a fictional version of one of the region's popular hotels, Kellerman's. (As an aside, could you imagine the handwringing that would occur if a movie called Dirty Dancing were to be popular among teens nowadays?)ĭirty Dancing was set in the Catskills (holla!), and recalled a more innocent America than even that of the 1980's, which seems similarly innocent through a 2012 lens. The film was a big sleeper hit, resonating with audiences across America and becoming the first movie ever to sell more than a million copies on VHS.
One of the biggest films of the 80's was Dirty Dancing, catapulting the now-deceased Patrick Swayze to superstar status and making a name for co-star Jennifer Gray, who played the sheltered character Baby to Swayze's Johnny. If seeing it was on your bucket list, the Dirty Dancing hotel fire may have put a kibosh on your ability to tick off all your boxes.
