This house consistently exceeded my expectations! The home is is a great size for a couple and felt more than big enough for our needs. We used the house as a base of operations for hiking at Cove Lake and Norris, watching the Elk at Hatfield Knob, and a night in cooking and playing games. The setting is really a treat. I picked the backyard shed (vs the other two) for the nice lounge chairs on the front deck and was glad I did. The koi pond and the beautifully landscaped yard is very relaxing. The inside is beautifully furnished and very comfortable for relaxing over a meal or vegging out after a full day. The bed was a particular surprise. Moderately firm, it was a treat to lay down on after hiking. The sheets were immensely soft and felt great. And the pillows are the best I have ever slept on away from home. The TVs functioned flawlessly and allowed us to finish us some netflix and watch youtube while cooking or trying to pick up a new board game. The hosts were also VERY responsive, both via the VRBO message and via text. I HIGHLY recommend checking out one of these "sheds". They are far more comfortable than a hotel suite and a delight to stay in. My g/f is already planning a return trip and we plan to repeat our stay in the shed!

Debbi & Fred, Thank you for your hospitality! Your property is fantastic! We enjoyed our 3 night stay in The Backyard Shed. It was the perfect size, clean, comfortable & adorably decorated. The location was perfect for our base to explore the area by car & boat. We really enjoyed renting your boat for the day. We will definitely recommend your place to friends looking for a long weekend getaway. Best regards, Becky & Bill

This location looks better in person, so the online pictures are not misleading. The property is also nicer than any apartment I've rented, so where can I get one? My stay here was truly wonderful and made easy by Fred and Debbie. We had no trouble finding the place and it's a perfect location for motorcyclists. I would also add the owners are world-class and want people to enjoy their accommodations. When I come back to TN, I'll be looking for availability at the Backyard Shed!

This little cabin was perfect for just my husband and I. It was cute and clean. The outdoor seating area was great too. The owners were great to work with and very friendly. They responded very quickly to our questions. We will definitely stay again if in the area.

Simple, clean, quiet and very nice spot. Better than any hotel room. Property owners were very responsive and very kind. Would recommend and would stay again for sure

I highly recommend the "Backyard Shed". It was amazing, very clean, very comfortable. Fred and Debbi are the best! They thought of everything for this home away from home. We will be back, and we so enjoyed exploring the Norris Dam and State Parks. Looking forward to a summer visit.

Very cute clean cabin lots of amenities, very responsive host

For the 2 weeks we rented, this property was perfect; comfortable with everything you needed to know and feel like you were home. We would definitely stay here again...long term or short.

Had an enjoyable time, got off to a rocky start but Fred took care of our situation. Enjoyed the fish ponds and the quiet - that is what we really went away for. Yard needed some attention but understand owners had been out of town for awhile so can understand that. It was a neat cottage and would definitely consider staying again.

The Backyard Shed is simple living at its best. The accommodations were simple but somehow felt luxurious with comfortable beds and nice linens. The koi ponds and shaded seating are the perfect antidote to fast paced or stressful living. The hosts were gracious and kind. I highly recommend this place.

Property was great, owners was super. We will be back

Very nice accommodations--very nice hosts

A wonderful and exciting adventure that I had on my 1st. Vacation. I will be back for sure. I loved everything about the place from outside to the inside! Thank you so much for letting me have the best time of my life. Kathleen King

This property was convenient to marina, clean and comfortable. Would have liked better view of mountain or lake view. Not much to do in area once we were done boating on lake. owners were very nice!

Fred and Debbi were amazing hosts. The house was super clean and just the right size for my husband and me. We had everything we needed to cook and it was super close to the marina to access the boat. We thoroughly enjoyed Norris Lake and hope to return!

My family and I loved our stay here! It was the perfect location and within walking distance of the marina. There was even room for us to park our truck and boat trailer in the driveway. Our kids loved the koi ponds and goats next door. Fred went above and beyond during our stay and we definitely plan on returning!

Enjoy the coziness of cottage . Was very well stocked on things of need . Ponds was very pretty however wooden deck was very weak in spots and my sister suffered a fall due to this . Was a little further from lake than I thought but this being my own fault for not checking better . Was a little disheartening when our service dog was refused by the owner . Their is goats as well as chickens within 3 feet of cottage door which was a little more noise than I expected . Cottage was very clean and decor was amazing to say the least . Fred was very helpful with all questions .

This place is extremely clean. Had everything I needed for the 4 nights I stayed. I needed some R&R desperately and this was just the place for me! I will be recommending this place to friends and family for sure!

We had sunshine and some rain, but the accommodations were great! Great location to town, marina and everything Norris Lake us to offer! We will be back!
