“It’s about a third full right now and it seems to be holding,” Mountain Lake Lodge’s general manager Heidi Stone told“It’s very exciting. The guests get very excited because for so many years it’s been dry and looked more like a meadow. It’s the prettiest when it’s filled with water.”
According to local news outlets, the lake’s water level dropped in 1999 but returned in 2003. Three years later it started dropping again, and by 2008, it was completely dry. The Mountain Lake Lodge in Virginia is a bucket list destination for Dirty Dancing fans.
