Discover Beaverdam Falls

Our Commitment

We're really just custodians with one simple task: Beaverdam Falls must be shared with the public & preserved.


Whether you are a wildlife, waterfall &/or nature enthusiasts, all should be allowed to enjoy nature & its greatest works.


Preservation is primary & our long-term commitment. And we do our best to be sustainable with waste & water, as well as through balancing public recreation on these private lands with the needs of the "land" to function as much as possible in its own natural state. 


And that's why our campsites have as little impact as possible: few guests, sustainable through impact: biodegradable waste solutions at each campsite, self-generating water at each site, & no electricity at any of them. Our sites have as little impact on their surroundings as possible--which other than touching the ground, they are not in it. 


Preservation is also why we forbid hunting, & fishing on any commercial level. We stock our stream, & we fish occasionally, but we'd rather cherish our wildlife than catch them. 


As for guests, we book all our sites, including now our campsites, through Airbnb and Hipcamp. We do offer daily visits on a limited basis, and offer event hosting; however, our primary goal is maintaining this land as a private nature preserve, especially for our busy beavers! 


You'll be amazed at the rich complexity & natural state of Beaverdam Falls when you visit. We're open year-round. 


Warmly,

Beau Bryan

Director, Beaverdam Falls, LLC



Explore the Land

Nestled on a private 83-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!
