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!

Beaverdam Falls, Top of the Rock II

100%

(32)

Cabin · Sleeps 4 · 1 bedroom · 1 bed

Relax in high-style at the top of Beaverdam Falls. Sleep adjacent the whirling & calming noise of a gigantic waterfall & overlook the lower ponds & creek basins from surprising privacy and seclusion. Take a hike--no, really! Choose to walk down to the Falls or view it all from the Rope Bridge! The "Top of the Rock" campsite is situated on amazing ground! It's situated just above the largest waterfall on fabulous high travertine rock, but tucked away far enough to still retain privacy and seclusion from the main viewing area below, which is just a short walk down a gravel trail. The rope bridge is also just a stones throw away. This stellar site has a full frontal view of the main water and creek basins below but is not right on top of the falls, so as to be too loud or too visible. And for the most part you are nestled under shade trees and are at the best crossroads on the property to take advantage of all the views and sites. Site is heated well by propane heat in the winter. 1 grill bottle of propane included. Additional propane for purchase: $30/bottle. No running water or electricity directly at this site.

Beaverdam Falls, Earlehurst Cottage

Booked 1 time

Cabin · Sleeps 4 · 2 bedrooms · 3 beds · 1 toilet

Built for $500.00 dollars "back-in-the-day," the Earlehurst Cottage was inhabited by The Carters, a humble, cute old country couple. Here, they raised two daughters. Today, the house is tastefully appointed where expected - & comfortable to modern standards - yet, it has been left as charming, rustic & cozy as it had always been: with elements of the original decor, windows, plaster walls, etc., being preserved. Pets stay for free! Guests have complete enjoyment of the interior & porch of the house. They have additional access & recreation rights to visit the Falls Viewing area, swim in the creek or hike in the field. The environs of the house, mostly the rear and the adjacent barns & sheds are used by the host for property maintenance & for other camping sites on the property, so host is often working around the house. Host is usually on the property in separate lodgings and generally working on the property, but is not always present. We respect guest space and try to observe full privacy for house guests. Nestled in the Alleghany Highlands of the Sweet Springs Valley of Virginia, Beaverdam Falls is an historic series of waterfalls at the headwaters of Dunlap Creek and is the terminus for the Sweet Springs. Surrounded by the verdant George Washington National Forest, our portion at the Upper Falls, displays a constant waterfall of around 40-feet in height and numerous beautiful cascades peppered throughout our creek. The 83-acre private tract of unparalleled Virginia countryside will simply astonish your expectations.

We had an AMAZING time staying at Beaverdam Falls. We were there for two nights over the holiday weekend, and though it was a ‘busy’ time, the stay felt remote and peaceful. The views were beautiful, we could see the Milky Way at night. We spent a few hours at the creek, which was our favorite part. Very strong likelihood we will return :).

Awesome getaway! My fiancé and I went for 2 nights and would definitely go back! The only reason we wouldn’t recommend to anyone else is to keep the hidden gem to ourselves. Beau was very helpful and the stay was great.

Great place for a beginner camper! A bougie place for an experienced camper. We booked the cattail which is a walk away to the falls but I never mind it because of how spacious it is for a dog or children but upon arrival we were graciously offered the “top of the rock” cabin and let me tell you that spot is SOO special, hearing the water at night helped me sleep and I say this as a fellow insomniac. The walk to the falls was literally 10 steps away, the water so clean and clear and the whole site in general was well kept which made me happy to know this gorgina (gorgeous per my mother who attended) place is being treated with respect!
