They used the dining hall kitchen for dance instruction studio and where the old couple dropped the stolen wallets. They used the Gym for both the ballroom scenes and the staff "dirty dancing". It was a coed summer camp in which I was a counselor. The Lake Lure site was the former Camp Chimney Rock for Boys and Girls.
#FILMING DIRTY DANCING LOCATION MOVIE#
Those were demolished not very long after the movie was released, but 'Johnny's' cabin remained at least until the summer of 1988. The cabins that the staff lived in at Kellermans were at the Lake Lure site in NC. Rumor has it that the balance log in "dirty dancing" was at the Highland Lake Inn resort in Flat Rock, NC, and the log is still there.
The farm was also the grassy scene location where Baby and Johnny practiced the lift, right before the lake lift in the water. An old man owned a farm with this stream on his land. The stream where the log was is definitely in NC near Tryon and it is definitely not near a resort. The trees were spray-painted green as the outside shots were done in autumn and they even had to stick some leaves back on!! It is not really known where exactly, but it was located there. The log scene was filmed in nearby Tryon, NC. Our lake is spring fed reaches a maximum of 72 degrees! When Johnny and Baby practiced lifts in our lake, it was autumn in Virginia and was very cold. The scene when Baby finds Penny crying in the kitchen was also the kitchen here at Mountain Lake. Many scenes were filmed in our Mountain Lake Hotel dining room and the gazebo by the lake where many weddings are held now in the summer. The trees an mountains are exactly the same but the lake has unfortunately drained. I've been to that exact spot and it's identical.
The lake "lifts" scene was filmed in the lake at Mountain Lake, VA. ĭuring the making of the movie, Patrick Swayze stayed in room 232 at Mountain Lake Jennifer Grey and her family stayed in the Virginia cottage. The movie used the Fairfield Inn and the scenic areas of Lake Lure, North Carolina as well as the Mountain Lake Resort near Roanoke, Virginia, USA. The Dec 1988 edition of Playboy reported that the Mountain Lake Hotel, where exteriors were shot, had experienced a 25-30 percent increase in bookings since the film's release
These scenes were actually shot at Mountain Lake Hotel, located in Mountain Lake, Virginia. Wanna see the real life filming location used for "Kellerman's" Resort in the movie?
