Greenwood Lake's Movie Debut!

For guests that stayed with us last summer it was a very exciting time in Greenwood Lake because our little village was the shooting location for Rob Reiner's new film, Magic of Belle Isle. Morgan Freeman was in our midst, as well as Virginia Madsen, Fred Willard, and an extraordinary up and coming actress Emma Fuhrman. We hosted cast and crew here at the Inn and can't wait to see the end result tomorrow night when the Village of Greenwood Lake holds its red carpet movie premiere at the beach. 

Magic of Belle Isle

Greenwood Lake's long awaited Hollywood moment is almost here! The trailer for the Magic of Belle Isle has just been released and the movie will be opening in theaters July 6. This is the Rob Reiner film starring Morgan Freeman that was filmed here last summer. We had a blast hosting some of the cast and crew at the Inn and can't wait to see the finished product.

And I must admit, Greenwood Lake does look that amazing in real life too.

Sounds of Summer

If you arrive at the Inn and park in the lot behind the house don't be alarmed if you hear "someone" whistling at you, it's just the resident parrot next door. He's been known to whistle at people getting out of their cars, but is mostly fondly remembered for the way he whistles the tune to the Andy Griffith Show. It's truly priceless to hear. I love opening the windows to the kitchen and listening to him sing away while I cook breakfast for guests. I've even overheard a "meow'ing" contest with a passerby cat. I think the cat was more surprised than I was. That's one talented bird. Maybe he'll get picked up as an extra on Rob Reiner's Summer at Dog Dave's, the movie that's filming in Greenwood Lake this summer.

I missed the parrot over the winter when he hibernates inside or perhaps goes to Florida with his owners. I'm happy he's back to his summer perch on the screened in porch of the neighbor's house. When I hear the familiar Andy Griffith theme song I know summer has arrived.

Hollywood Coming to Greenwood Lake

The stage is set. Hollywood's big wigs will be calling Greenwood Lake home this summer! It’s finally gone public that Rob Reiner’s new movie, Summer at Dog Dave’s will be filmed in Greenwood Lake. Morgan Freeman is cast as the lead character, who's a writer of Westerns that’s lost his groove. His agent suggests he go up to the lake for the summer to reflect, relax and get it together.
