  Bostonian, Lake Lure is more boring than Mountain Lake, hands down. I went there for the memorial and practically nothing was left from the movie except the stairs Baby practiced dancing on, which are barely recognizable. Lake Lure in and of itself is a beautiful place with lots of things to do, but for a die-hard Dirty Dancing/Patrick Swayze fanatic, I was disappointed. Although there were many gift/souvenir shops, none of them had any Dirty Dancing memorabilia at all. I even asked one of the shop owners about the lack of Dirty Dancing items and he said "Uh, because that was 20 years ago."

  I didn`t care for Dirty Dancing. I loved watching him in The Beast. He was great. RIP Patrick

  While a lot of the movie was filmed at Lake Lure, they also filmed a lot at the Mountain Lake Hotel near Pembroke, VA. It was the site of the outside of Kellerman's. The cottage Baby's family lived in was also there, as well as the gazebo. Another scene they did there was when Patrick said goodbye to Jennifer after he was fired and drove off. The creator of Dirty Dancing said that they only spent two weeks filming at the Mountain Lake Hotel, because it was too expensive to stay any longer. I've been to the Mountain Lake Hotel, but it is a kind of boring place. I'd love to go to Lake Lure someday.

  All of the indoor Main Lodge scenes were filmed inside the Lake Lure Inn, the water scene doing jumps, the log over the creek, the watermelon steps, the cabin Johnny stayed in, the Employee cabins & employee lodge, the porch with Dad sitting by the lake and of course the golf Course scenes. Were all filmed here in Lake Lure... Doesn't matter what wikipedia says... We lived thru a whole summer of Hollywood taking over Lake Lure. Then 10 years of tourists coming to look at it all... They distroyed the cabins & employee lodge writing all over the walls...

  Many scenes were filmed in Lake Lure. I used to live there. I also have friends who have pieces of the floor boards from the main dance hall after it was torn down. The golf course scene where Baby asks her father for money ($250 for the abortion) is from the 16th green on a Lake Lure golf course called Bald Mountain. It was also filmed in VA, but much of it was in Lake Lure.

  There were quite a few scenes filmed in NC. From what I have read it was pretty split, half and half between a resort near Roanoke and half in Lake Lure. This is what I found: http://www.blueridgecountry.com/archive/dirty-dancing.html

  Only one scene (water lift) was filmed in NC and the rest of the movie was filmed in VA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_Dancing
