Nestled on a private 65-acre farm in the Alleghany Highlands of Virginia, Beaverdam Falls is located on VA SR-311 (Kanawha Trail) in the Sweet Springs Valley. Nestled in the old community of Earlehurst, between Covington & Roanoke, Beaverdam Falls are an historic series of waterfalls on private property. The Falls are at the headwaters of Dunlap Creek and are the terminus for the Sweet Springs. Available for guest stays & recreation, are the Upper Falls portion. Surrounded by the verdant George Washington National Forest, the Upper Falls, displays a constant waterfall of around 40-feet in height, & decorates the final mile stretch of the Sweet Springs, both on our property. Additional beautiful cascades pepper our tract of Beaverdam Falls as well. This private tract of unparalleled Virginia countryside will simply astonish your expectations. As the source of the Falls, Sweet Springs Creek, serves as a long, unique home for trout, calcified travertine rock, chalybeate water, and ancient beaver dams (as well as active ones!). Beaverdam Falls is a rare place for the lack of stone and the centuries of beavers who have left their trace in & on our creek—and swamp, the Stick Marsh, which has an active beaver dam. Be careful! They do bite!

Great Dam!
I loved our short stay! It was so relaxing and I didn't need to even leave the campsite! Beau and the team were so friendly and helpful, they provided everything even when we forgot pillows, wood, and coffee.

The site was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful! We really appreciated having the kayaks nearby to explore a bit on the water too.

A beautiful stay in nature
We loved staying at The Cattails! The site is more surrounded by woods than the others on the property which we especially liked, and it had a beautiful scenic view of the wetlands and the mountains behind it. We also loved hearing all of the surrounding wildlife throughout the day including many kinds of birds, geese, and frogs at night. The falls nearby were beautiful and the cave was really cool to peek into. The kayaks were a lot of fun too! At night we cooked over the fire under the many beautiful stars. The general location was great too as it wasn't far from multiple mountain hikes and less than two hours from breweries, Green Bank Observatory, and The Blue Ridge Tunnel. While it did rain a little bit during our stay, the tent was very sturdy and didn't leak. The grill came in handy for cooking that night since the interior was still dry. The site comes very well stocked with supplies. Beau was a great host, and we loved staying there so much we are talking about coming back again some time! I highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves being in nature and needs to disconnect from the everyday.

Beaverdam falls was the best for a spring weekend getaway! Beautiful property, the sites are spread out enough for privacy, and Beau has the best set up for all the little things you could need. We stayed in Sweet Springs canvas tent and it was wonderful. The tent comes with cooking supplies, a grill, a heater, and some comfy chairs on the deck. Our dogs had the best time there too swimming by the waterfall. We’d love to come back!

Stayed during the rainy snow season (I know we’re crazy lol) so the communal space didn’t have any hot water or propane for the stove. But we were SO taken care of. The manager Leah let us to another site to shower and cook and brought us another stove to cook with. Beautiful property and will definitely be coming back in the summer! Even in super cold winter weather we had a blast and loved every second!!

Cute hidden gem. The scenery was beautiful. I didn't think as much would be provided as far as accommodations. This is a great idea for those who want the camping experience without all the fuss of packing, setting up, and taking down equipment. Just about everything was provided. Just bring personal effects and some linens!
