Great tour. Shame Patrick is gone, such a beautiful person. Can't get over how that lake dried up. 😢
That soundtrack was everything. We would do our Saturday house chores to that soundtrack. My mom and sister and I, such great memories. I know it by heart to this day!😂 Thanks Jordan🤘
Hi Jordan, oh, the music to the film was brilliant. I never tire of watching this film whenever it is on. Great vlog Jordan.
We have original records of soundtrack, had to buy cd as Don't you feel like Crying kept skipping 😅
Funny thing about Patrick's song, it was my favorite song on the soundtrack. Lyrically it's a beautiful song! Thanks for the great vlog of one of my favorite movies ever! ✌️
That was really good. Probably my favorite of your vlogs. Thank you so very much for taking me back in time. It was a wonderful trip. ❤ RIP Patrick 🙏
My favorite movie. The cast, the soundtrack, the locations, the script, everything is just amazing! Your video made my day! ❤️🥰
I love this, Jordan! Dirty Dancing was my mom’s favorite movie! She loved Patrick Swayze too! I live in Houston and my best friend’s mother went to high school with Patrick at Waltrip. My mother would have loved your video! She passed away in 2010. I really appreciate you, Jordan!
This was a awesome video and history lesson and one of the best videos you done. This was my mom and sister favorite soundtrack when I was kid they would blast it and sing along with every song. They’re both gone now but I have great memories. Thanks again.
I loved this, thank you so much for taking me back to my youth again. As I’ve grown older and most of my family have all passed away now I seem to be more nostalgic even though I’m only 48 yrs old, but this film was a film the whole family loved and my mother especially loved it who has also passed away now , such wonderful memories that I’d forgotten about until you did this video. In 1987 this was a huge film over in the UK and I was only 12 yrs old. I watched it and everyone tried to do the dirty dancing dance to “ Do you love me” .
Love your vlogs they are all so interesting and your knowledge is amazing. Thank you so much from UK/ Norway. 😊❤️
Wow, thank you so much for this vlog Jordan. I've been a, Dirty Dancing fan since it came out. Rented it at least a 100 times back then, till I bought one. I remember for the longest time there was a HUGE waiting list at the video store to rent. Absolutely love Patrick Swayze in everything, and was totally heartbroken when he passed. Again thank you you made my day!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Awesome video Jordan! I love this movie....and now so does my daughter! (One of the movies we quote often 🥰) don't think this movie will ever fade away. Hard to believe Patrick has been gone 14 years next month. He would've been 71 on 8/18. I'm grateful for all the phenomenal movies he gave us. Love, hugs & God Bless you 💕💕
Wow I can't believe hes been gone that long. It seems like a few years ago. What a great loss, he is def missed ❤️🫶🙏
Hi Jordan! I live 45 miles from Lake Lure in NC. We stayed there and took that boat tour in the 90's. On the tour, they told us the lift happened there and pointed out the cove supposedly where it happened. Funny, right? Also if you decide to visit, another movie was filmed right there beside Lake Lure at Chimney Rock! "The Last Of The Mohicans". Some of that movie was filmed also at Lake James where they built a fort. It is very close to Morganton, NC which is my hometown. My cousin was an extra in Mohicans and the male black dancer in Dirty Dancing was from Morganton. About 20 miles away in Hildebran NC, there are some of the locations used in the"The Hunger Games". Enjoy you channel!💖
Another movie was also filmed nearby in Chimney Rock. Firestarter with Drew Barrymore when she was a little girl. Watch it & you'll see main street & other locations.
I lived less than 2 hours east and our weekends were always spent in the mountains. So beautiful & peaceful! Air so Fresh!!! Lake Lure was so beautiful! (I hope it still is!)
@@qtbrniis You're exactly right! I had forgotten about that movie! It was a long time ago. We stayed there several times with my daughters when they were young. We took the boat tour which was very interesting and also went to Chimney Rock. It is very beautiful there. We went back a couple of years ago and it hasn't changed much. They have added a few new restaurants.
I live about 45 minutes from here in Boiling Springs and we often take motorcycle rides interesting things to look for
How’d a lake that huge dry up? Nice video, thanks.❤
Yes, some scenes were made in lake Lure North Carolina! My father in law had a vacation home on the lake.. back then the famous lift and dinner scenes was at Apple Valley..
Bless you Jordan for doing this great one....I still can't believe he's gone :( I watch this movie all the time!!! The best ever!!! It is unfortunate that we lost a few of the actors who were in this iconic film years later...considering that a few of them were so young and talented!! Have a great week everyone!!!
Out of all the videos I’ve seen about this location, yours is the best. I’ve visited this place as a child and went back when I discovered Dirty Dancing was filmed there, the lake was already disappearing on my last visit. Patrick is still missed. I read this book that Lisa wrote. It was heartwarming and heartbreaking. This was a favorite but he really had many movies that he was great in. He will forever be in the hearts of his fans and I happen to be one of them. RIP. Thanks for the video.
This was wonderful Jordan.👍 I didn’t know Patrick wrote songs, and what a lovely song that is.
Great movie and what an amazingly stunning 🤩 place. Glad you took us all there.
Thanks Jordan. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺
He was a very interesting guy.. very multi-talented
Dirty Dancing is such a classic movie and one of my favorite. I love that you stayed here and explored the filming locations from the movie. I love all the plaques where certain scenes were filmed. It's too bad that lake dried up. Hopefully it will fill back up soon. I would love to visit there one day! Thanks for showing us!! Hello to Jah!❤
Thank you for doing my favorite movie. I loved Patrick. I still do. My he rest in Gods loving hands. I miss him. Thanks again Jordan and Jah. Take care.
This was a really terrific location vlog. Thank you Jordan for all the hard work that must go into producing these amazing films.
I love the way you carefully place the videos and pics, Jordan. Great job! I am here enjoying from Brasil. Thank you so much! Cannot believe Patrick Swayze is gone...
Love the genuine way you approach life. You are now a part of my daily viewing. Thanks Jordan
Great comment about Jordan! Youre correct!
Thank you for taking us here. Such an amazing video! Absolutely loved this movie and still do to this day. 🤍 Happy Heavenly Birthday Patrick! 🤍 My birthday twin!
I loved this vlog. So many then and now match ups. I bet I watched this Movie over a hundred times. Very interesting. You did a great job!
I had watched someone else do the tour of Kellerman's but yours is much much
better !! Thanks Jordan 💕!! Have a great day!!
This is my favorite movie of all time! I loved this video
Thank you for this tour. I ❤ all the details you showed from the movie. It is nice to see Jah again.
The others two movie hit soundtracks in the 80s were Footloose and Top Gun.
Hi Jordan, I never tire of watching this film and the songs are just brilliant. Great vlog Jordan.
WOW thank you for this! I didn't know this was a REAL place!! I would have never known this had it but been for your awesome video! I grew up obsessing "and still do" over Dirty Dancing and Patrick Swayze. What young girl didn't right? I'm now 52 and still play that movie. I miss Patrick Swayze. Sad loss. Great human. 💗
Great location one of my favourite films 🎥 this was the best video location I have seen of this place job well done patrick was great actor dancer truly missed by many
Jordan, an incredible tribute to Dirty Dancing and Patrick Swayze! I loved seeing the current state of the resort. I must say the new pool they put in looks awesome. I guess they kind of needed it to replace the lake! People in general go to resorts for the lake experience. I know our family always did. Except we went to the Wisconsin Dells to a resort called Castle Rock along the Wisconsin River. We always spent 10 days there mid August and came home and started school a week later, lol!
There was nothing like growing up in the 1970's and early 80's. I was a Mom by 1986! Wow life goes by fast!!!
Loved this so much!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are the guy, Jordan,
Just excellent work.
Hugs from Brazil!
WOW. I enjoyed this so much Jordan. Great job as always. Thank you.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!! Thank you Jordan for another amazing vlog!
You're very welcome!
Thank you Jordan, I really enjoyed your blog where Dirty Dancing was filmed. Hope you enjoyed your stay and took home some souvenirs 🥰
I got so excited when I saw that you were visiting Mountain Lake! My friend keeps her camper at a campground just 30 minutes away from there. It’s my mission to drive over some day when I’m down there. It makes me sad that the lake is gone, though and sad that Patrick is gone as well. 😢
I live just 13 miles from Mountain Lake.
From what I understand it’s not that the lake is gone it’s underneath the lake bed. Apparently that lake is one of a kind on this planet. You can google up a website that explains in detail. It’s actually quite interesting. I would love to visit Mountain lake one day too. Sadly I’m pretty far away from it.
I loved seeing this mountain house years after dirty dancing was made although I'am sad that the lake has dried up as it was a great part of what made the place beautiful. Thanks for this tour, it was great ❤
We were here for one of the dirty dancing weekends they put on, super fun and interesting to see all of this! The resort is 100% worth a visit for a vacation, even just on its own. great video, exactly as i remember it
Why is the lake gone
I love this movie and locations! Glad you made it there 😎🤘
Very nostalgic I would love to spend time there looks so peaceful ♥️
Oh my gosh.. I love this!! This is my Favorite movie of all time!!!! Thank you!! I have the Anniversary edition of the movie. ❤
Jordan thank you!! This video was awesome. We get to see Patrick Swayze at his best. Sadly missed. Hi to Jah and Katie.
Wow just wow!! This is like a bucket list thing to do, all my childhood dreams would come true!! Thanks for sharing, you just made this Australian's lady's day! ❤❤❤❤❤💃 🇦🇺
I loved the location scenes of Dirty Dancing. Thanks so much Jordan and Jah.
My best friend Jill and I would watch Dirty Dancing and replay the soundtrack everyday. We would practice the lift in my pool all summers long. She died of cancer in 2015. Thanks for the memories
Awesome! I feel like I've been there now! Thanks again, Jordan!
Wow thanks so much for sharing this wonderful movie❤
HI JORDAN,, GREAT VIDEO!! I HAVE TO SEE IT AGAIN ,, I LIKE YOUR NEW BLACK GLASSES.. THANKS,,...
My favourite movie....always ❤ Also, thank you for this tour, I loved the walk down memory lane of this wonderful movie!
You’re before and after vids are absolutely incredible.
Awesome! Loved that movie! Love the soundtrack ! Thanks for sharing!❤
And now I want to watch the Movie all over again for the Millions times I had watched it lol, thank for this re cap of this amazing place..
Jah is one happy, sassy little puppy and its great to see him on this trip of videos..
This is my all time favorite movie . I never tire of watching it. This is my favorite video you have done and thanks for such a great job.
Btw those glasses look great on you and I like the darker blonde hair
This was one of my childhood films!!! ❤❤
I always wanted to know where all this was filmed. Thank you so much for showing it. I've always been a Patrick Swayze fan and this brought back a lot of memories. Oh Jordan, I don't know if you have any plans to go back to Las Vegas anytime soon or if you'd heard of this place or not but thought you and your followers would find it really interesting. It's called Omega Mart. Thanks again Jordan & Jah.
I enjoyed this one a lot!! I have seen other videos on these locations and yours is the absolute best one I’ve seen so thank you!
so cool to see “Kellermans” Mountain Lake Lodge then and now shots, awesome narrative Jordan 😎 blows me away to see the blocks Patrick Swayze stood on in the water, so sad the lake is dried up, I have the movie on dvd and soundtrack enjoy over and over; I hope to see vlog on Lake Lure soon 👍🏻
I MUST SAY, Jordan, this was the MOST ULTIMATE video of a movie I owned n watched over n over n over again to learn all the dance steps, as I grew up a dancer in Detroit, n I also was taught ballroom dancing as a teenager by a man who was in his 30's Billy Hunter, who I remained friends with n went to his wedding for years afterwards!!! This movie was sooo true to life also of when I was a kid n we went to different lakes n resorts with our families n friends families back in the 1960's n they TOTALLY nailed the exact atmosphere n time period and attitudes of those time periods as I was growing up!!! You have surpassed yourself in AWESOMENESS my friend, n I Love that you went here n it is STILL standing n almost exactly the same as the time period in the movies, the 1960's!!! My Dad even looked like Baby's Dad in the movie!!! It is most definitely a REAL BLAST from MY PAST!!!. Thank you for showing this entire place to me today!!! LOVE to YOU n JAH!!!
Awesome filming location Jordan! Great film! I shared this with a friend of mine, she is a big fan of this film!
I’m new to your channel but thanks so much for providing the memories. I loved this and wish Patrick was still alive. I’m
Now following you 😊
I live in Blacksburg, about 15min away. Lol. I wish I had known you were in town!! There are 5-6 cars from the movie on a friend’s property close by. His father allowed them to use several of his vehicles for the movie. Also, The Virginia Tech Memorial in Blacksburg for the 2007 shootings is a really special place to visit as well if you ever get a chance
Wow, loved the video. Really done well, just like I was literally standing in your shows. Thank you
Thanks Jordan! Loved the Vlog. Big Dirty Dancing (especially Patrick Swayze ) fan. Great job!!
I really enjoyed. Awesome to see a place I would never have the privledge to. Great share. TY
I visited the Lake Lure location not long after the movie came out. It was a tourist attraction then but not many people really knew about it I guess. I took pics of Johnnys cabin, the stairs and bridge, the “dirty dancing” building that Baby takes the watermelon to and the building where the final dance scene and Baby in a corner scene was filmed. They had already torn down the staff cabins then but I took a picture of the big empty spot where they had been. This was of course before cell phones so just had my trusty little camera. Later yes the area caught fire and all the buildings burned. I guess that’s when the owner sold to developers and now that area is a gated housing community. That’s why you can only see the only thing left, the stone steps, from the lake because the steps are on private property now. They did manage to save some of the boards from the “gym” where the final dance scene was filmed and they put them in the Lake Lure Inn I believe, I could be wrong but think that’s where they are now.
So glad you got tonsee it all!!
Wow I would love to see those pictures and all of that that be amazing
It was great seeing it all but I had no idea back then how I would be one of the few to have gone and have pics.@@DazewithJordantheLion
I’m scanning through comments to see if someone had commented on the Lake Lure filming spots. Glad to find yours. I went as well in the fall of 2020. I was told the cabins were destroyed by arsonists and the gym was torn down. And yes, some of the flooring was salvaged and is now in the lobby at The Esmeralda Inn. Of course I had to stay there so I could walk on it and pretend dance with Johnny. 😂 I took the boat tour as well but they weren’t truthful about the lift scene in claiming it was done there. I did a tad of research and found an old interview with the writer of the movie - I think her fist name was Eleanor? She confirmed in the interview that it was done at Mountain Lake. I drove past the golf course where the one scene was shot of Baby asking her dad for money. And I’ll admit; I did drive into the area where the cabins and gym were. It’s now a gated community but the gate was wide open and no signs posted so I drove around for a few minutes. At that time, it was easy to see a bit of the remains of the gym. Also, I found the top of the famous steps. It’s on private property and of course, I didn’t get out of my car and trespass. Lovely homes have been built in that community. I was lucky to get some great photos. A fun trip! Oh, and I walked around in the Lake Lure Inn. I was told the cast stayed there while filming. It’s such a beautiful area to visit - especially in the fall. Highly recommend!
This is one of my favorite movies. It was very interesting for me. Thank you for the tour. I hope I get to see it someday
Love this so much!!! Awesome job!This movie is legend and I never get tired of watching it! Just watched it tonight and always loved the location it was filmed, it was so beautiful!! Awesome video! And I love your doggie!! 🐶
✨🤩🎥🎬📽️🎞️
RIP Patrick Swayze. 🕊️
Thank you !! That was my favorite movie growing up!! Well it still is !! Awesome video !!😊😊😊❤❤
I was 17 when the movie came out and it was the BEST movie that year! I worked at the movie theater and must have seen it 100 times. Me and my friends all loved it!
Thank you again Jordan I am a big Dirty Dancing Great tour of DD filming site so much I didn't know. Really enjoyed going on this tour with you. I never imagined that the site would still be a actual operating Resort Thanks again.
thanks for the clip about the location today of Dirty Dancing. I am bron 1977 in Germany and this film is and was my absoulute favorite Patrick Swayze i Loved him as a Actor
Wow thats amazing!! Thank you for your video's i appreciate all your hard work!! 🙂👍
Thank you!
Hey Jordan, thank you for the awesome video. Alittle history on the lake. It is actually in a geological cycle where it emptys and refills itself. I read about a 400 year cycle but it does start to fill back up in a decade period. Altho it's sad to see it in its current state
Your video are always spectacular. I always enjoy watching them. Thank you so much. 😊
I worked at Mountain Lake in the late 90’s. I was aware parts of the movie were filmed there, but it wasn’t a big thing at that point. It’s crazy to see how years later it becomes such a destination for movie lovers and fans. I learned more from this video about the various filming location than I did in the entire summer I worked there.
This is the best Dirty Dancing videos I've seen yet. Awesome job!
Omg thank you for this! It brought back so many memories. I remember my friend and I seeing Dirty Dancing about 6 times when it was in theatres ❤💃
Amazing Vlog Jordan the Lion 👍🏼😎
Perfect timing, i just watched this again over the weekend 😀👍💜 Hugs to Jah!!!!
Loved this! Thank you so much. Brings me back to high school. They don't make many movies this good anymore.
So amazingly cool. I saw this in theaters at least three times. Loved it. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for doing this Jordan! I was 14 when this came out and it's still one of my favorites!!❤❤❤
I loved this tour! What an awesome time you had. The resort really does a wonderful job showing the different filming spots. I have been known to super geek out at stuff like this. The movie was so good. Thank you so much for sharing! 36:52
Oh that was such a cool vlog, I have seen that movie so many times! Great to see Jag too he's been missed!
That was amazing!
I love that movie, so many ppl do and it is sad to see the lake is gone.... I didn't realize that places like this existed anymore.
I also was very touched to see Jah still going strong. I truly hope and wish for you and Jah long years of love & happiness together. ❤️🙏🏻💎
I just loved your video and I’m a fan of that movie. Superb!! The comparisons were the way to do it. Thank you!
This is sooo Kool I love dd. Watching from Australia
Thank you so much! absolutely Amazing! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Im gonna wait for a rainy year for that lake to be full and visit it.
what a great insight...wonderful to watch...thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
A excellent view Jordan! We sure enjoyed it! A hello to Jah! 😊 Luv&peace Cheers to Continued success friend 🤝✌
I wish I had known you stopped here. I live about 30 mins from Mt. Lake!!! We go there for breakfast or dinner sometimes. Love it there!
Thank you for the walk thru and I'm happy to see the resort is still up and running. I don't think that movie would have been as popular with anybody else. Prefect cast for that movie!
I forgot the name of your channel! So glad YT brought me back 😊
Thanks for the tour very cool
Loved the video… but I am so disappointed about the bridge and stairs not being there… I thought they were there at Mountain Lake.. always imagined being able to go there and recreating the Baby dancing scene.. 😢 ❤
Dirty Dancing was my favourite movie as a preteen. Lost count of the times I’ve watched it.
This video was very nostalgic 🥰
Absolutely loved this thank you x
I used to live in blacksburg, va. Right up the road. Thats a windy road up to mountain lodge. Love your videos!
Yeah, not a fannof the road that led to the lodge.. would not want to drive it every day
I love going to filming locations, long after all the actors are long gone , then getting a huge smile, let out giggles . I am in awe then, I start doing the happy boohoo's.😂😂. Thank you for showing the locations , from a fellow Ohio olde gal ! But living out here in Bellflower Ca!
the episode i didnt know i needed, off to watch dirty dancing now lol great vlog jordan
