Four Stairs is a historic home located at Great Falls, Fairfax County, Virginia. The earliest section was built about 1737, as a gable-roofed, one-room, one-story with loft log house. It was later enlarged with a shed-roofed west side log pen and rear shed-roofed timber-framed kitchen. These early sections were raised to two-stories after 1796. A two-story, three-bay, parlor-and-side-hall-plan frame addition in the Greek Revival style was built about 1850, and became the focus of the house. The house was restored in 2002–2004. Also on the property are a contributing a family cemetery and a stone-lined hand-dug well.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
