My wife and I have visited three times, once in the summer and twice in the winter, all three in the cottages on the hill above the hotel. We loved being perched on the side of the mountian Access to miles of trails many wih spectacular views. A real fireplace with a well supplied log bin made the place romantic.... More

I surprised my wife by booking Mountain Lake Hotel for our honeymoon. Her favorite movie is Dirty Dancing so I thought this would be a real thrill for her and a great getaway for both of us. We were not disappointed. The staff welcomed us upon check-in where we were given the key to room 100, the parlor suite. The... More

My husband and I stayed here over a weekend in October, 2012. In case you aren't familiar, this is where the movie, Dirty Dancing was filmed back in 1987. There is a 2 night minimum for the fall weekends. We arrived around 4:30 pm on Friday, along with several other folks at the same time, so check in was a... More

My husband and I decided to tack on 2 nights at the Mountain Lake Hotel after visiting our daughter at Virginia Tech for her Fall Break. She had mentioned a rather curvy road up to the hotel, but we had no idea that Rt. 700 (the one given by MapQuest and most direct)was that steep a climb and sort of... More

I have never seen 'Dirty Dancing' and likely never will, but this long-established resort, where scenes in the movie were filmed, is only 25 miles from where I live, so I decided to pay a visit over the Columbus Day holiday. Having read the very mixed reviews, I had modest expectations. Happily, they were exceeded and the visit was a... More

We have stayed a number of years at this hotel to celebrate my wife's birthday, so we made reservations in August to do it again. Reservations were for 25 October. October 3 we get an email from telling us that they no longer honor reservations and ours had been canceled because someone offered them more money for the room. Ever... More

It was a trip back in time to 1966 for me as I booked us here for a week-end as we were attending the Virginia Tech football game in nearby Blacksburg. While the stone lodge and rustic cabins looked the same... the lake itself was almost bone dry as a result of the continued drought the last few years. The... More

You know when somebody meets a celebrity and they say "I'm never going to wash my hand again!" That's kind of what's going on with MLHotel and Dirty Dancing. We stayed in the main hotel. The room was small, dusty and outdated. Walls are paper thin. Heater sounded like a Pinto with a hole in the exhaust. No TV. Cheap... More

Over all disappointed. The place is showing signs of wear with a poor attempt to up keep. No TV in rooms, no AC in rooms. Out plan included meals and the quality of meal and level of service did not meet expectations. The Sunday brunch however was very nice. The staffs at the recreation desk were very helpful (Thank you... More
