PEMBROKE, Va. – Mountain Lake Lodge, where the movie Dirty Dancing was filmed 36 years ago, has announced its 2024 schedule of events paying homage to the film.
Located in the center of a 2,600-acre nature preserve and bird sanctuary in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Mountain Lake Lodge–known as Kellerman’s Mountain House in the movie–offers reminders of Dirty Dancing, from dance lessons and self-guided tours of film locations to parties, lawn games, scavenger hunts, and screenings of the original film.
Dirty Dancing-themed weekend dates for 2024 include February 9 to 11, April 26 to 28, June 21 to 23, July 26 to 28, August 23 to 25, September 13 to 15, and October 25 to 27.
“Dirty Dancing weekends are an opportunity to go back to where the magic began,” says Heidi Stone, president and CEO, Mountain Lake Lodge. “Guests will discover that Mountain Lake Lodge is a real destination steeped in history and offers a special experience, whether they are Dirty Dancing aficionados, hikers or mountain bikers, or just want to relax and get away.”
Highlights of resort venues filmed in the movie include Stone Lodge with its stone hearth and mountain views; the adjoining Harvest Restaurant and patio where main characters Johnny and Baby saw each other for the first time; the Gazebo for salsa lessons; and Baby’s Cabin, the fictional Houseman family home. During the filming, Mountain Lake Lodge was home to cast and crew including stars Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, and Jerry Orbach.
The resort is also offering its “Kellerman’s Film Package” to celebrate Dirty Dancing with any two-night stay on most dates throughout the year, subject to availability. Included are a cocktail in a souvenir Kellerman’s glass, a screening of the movie, a themed scavenger hunt, a $200 dining credit, and an exclusive gift bag.
In addition, the resort’s Kellerman’s Gift Shop, the nation’s first brick-and-mortar store for official Dirty Dancing merchandise, offers a collection of film-themed clothing and memorabilia.
