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, The Cattails
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!

Beautiful area!
This was such a fun spot! They really supplied everything you might need, and the sight was super private. Our kids loved floating and exploring around the waterfall with the trout :) Highly recommend!

Stellar views, best time
This place is incredible. This was our second time coming and we plan to come every year if we can make it! It feels serene and quiet, but has all of the comfort and amenities that you could need. And I must say, the HEATER in the tent works so well. It was in the 30s and we were not cold at all in there. The property is amazing, the customer service is kind and helpful, and the views are stunning. Almost dont even want to give it this good of a review to keep it a secret, but I wont :) We even saw the Milky Way. Waking up to a beautiful sunrise over the mountains, making a coffee with their french press and walking over to the falls was just the best. Stay here and enjoy the heck out of it!!

Incredible space, stunning falls and creek, and just the right amount of spacing between sites for privacy. Wonderful spot and I couldn’t recommend it more.

Beaverdam Falls, Top of the Rock II
This place is magical
We stayed at Top of the Rock and it is stunning. The cabin was situated next to the waterfall, there is a bridge at the upper level over to a landing where you can sit and look over the waterfall and the lower level, there is a trail down to the lower level where you can see the trout swimming, you can swim yourself, or sit and enjoy the view. There are several trails to wander and a cave to explore. The open field and view of the mountains are breathtaking. The shared trailer space has a small kitchen with running water, a stove/oven, and refrigerator. If you forgot something, it’s likely available here. There is a bathroom with shower as well. Also, WiFi available here and the check-in barn if needed. Otherwise, no cell service. My husband and I booked our stay for our anniversary getaway. It was so peaceful, yet we had such a fun adventure as well. It was great to unplug completely, focus on ourselves, and recharge from the hustle of everyday life. Beau is very helpful, responsive, and hospitable, yet they give you your space and privacy which was great. We highly recommend staying and would love to return again.
