About our camp...
Four Stairs Farm
This is a truly unique camp like no other...a well-kept secret. Four Stairs Farm, circa 1730, is nestled in the heart of Great Falls, Virginia and is the oldest structure appearing on the original survey of the land grant to Lord Fairfax. The historic restoration, undertaken in 2002, took three years to complete with loving attention to detail, and has won numerous architectural awards. Four Stairs Farm is listed on the National Register of Historic places and with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources.
