wall from "Dirty Dancing" movie      To some, this may look like a wall in desperate need of a fresh coat of paint.  To others, especially fans of the movie "Dirty Dancing" starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray, this wall has great significance. 

     In 1987 "Dirty Dancing" was filmed in nearby Lake Lure.  When the movie set was dismantled, the former owners of the inn obtained the wall boards from one of the cottages featured in the movie.  Later, when the inn was renovated, the boards were used to construct the outside wall of the Cottage Room, where they remain as a permanent piece of nostalgia from the movie.
