The resort has a beautiful outdoor setting that's perfect for those who enjoy nature and hiking. However, the cleanliness of the accommodations was not up to standard, and the dining experience was hit or miss. While the staff was commendable, particularly in the dining area, the overall value for money fell short considering the price paid.

Rooms

The Lake cottage had a distinctively moldy smell with noticeable dust and spiders, which was concerning for the $950+ weekend price. I expected better cleanliness.
Service

The check-in process was smooth, and Katie at the bar was a standout employee, providing excellent service. However, housekeeping policies were underwhelming since they don't clean rooms once checked in.

The resort is located in a beautiful mountain area ideal for hiking, but the lake's absence was disappointing. The setting is picturesque although not exactly what I had hoped for.
Dining

The dining experience was inconsistent, the breakfast was subpar, and the kitchen often ran out of menu items, which was frustrating. Cameron at dinner was a positive highlight.

Facilities seemed limited and not particularly well-maintained, which detracted from the overall experience. The gift shop was smaller than expected.

I had a fantastic time at Mountain Lake Lodge, especially as a huge fan of 'Dirty Dancing.' The staff were great, and the lodge itself was clean and comfortable, which made for a lovely getaway. The location had some beautiful views and interesting features, but I wish the service at reception had been more attentive. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit for fans of the movie and nature lovers alike.

We enjoyed a wonderful experience at the lodge with a perfect blend of leisure activities, good food, and attentive service. While the public areas were stunning, our room was a bit disappointing considering the high price we paid. Overall, it was a great getaway, but there were a few areas that could use improvement.

Our stay at this hotel was quite mixed. While we really enjoyed the picturesque setting and the unique Dirty Dancing theme, the cleanliness of the rooms left much to be desired. The dining experience also had its ups and downs-with a great breakfast but a disappointing dinner menu lacking variety. Additionally, some amenities like the pool were not fully enjoyable due to cold temperatures. Overall, there's a lot of potential here, but some improvements are definitely needed.

Mountain Lake Lodge offers a unique experience in a beautiful setting, especially appealing to fans of 'Dirty Dancing.' The rooms are clean and comfortable, although a bit dated, and the lack of A/C can make it warm in the afternoons. Dining at the Harvest restaurant has its ups and downs, as the quality is high, but service can be slow. The property has some nice amenities, but the lake being dry is a drawback.
