Few locations on Norris Lake are in as close proximity to both the lake, the mountains, and the LaFollette/Jacksboro retail, restaurant, medical, and business district as we are. Across from Indian River Marina we are 2 miles from town. This is a quiet, convenient, and comfortable place to stay nestled up next to Koi ponds, about 100 yards from Indian River Marina and the lake, and 20 minutes to fantastic ATV trails.
New in 2018 the property is 600 s.f. with one sizable living room/kitchen combo and a bedroom with queen bed. The living room has a high-quality sleeper sofa. A full-size bathroom and washer/dryer laundry room are accessed through bedroom. In July 2021, we had a new HVAC system installed.
The kitchen is stocked with utensils, pots, pans, dishes, silverware, etc. We provide 6 pillows, 2 sets of queen linens, blankets, bed spreads, bath towels, and dish towels, but you must bring your paper products, toiletries, laundry detergent, and dish soap.
There are smart TV's in both rooms with cable, HBO, and Starz channels, and WiFi internet service.
Outside there are three nicely landscaped deck areas to sit, relax, and watch the fish swim.

We have 2 more Sheds and a house that we rent, so if this one isn't available, ask about the others.

    Very cool little place. Nice area . Mr Fred was very helpful with the questions I had about the area . Had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Was just a very cool and neat experience for my first trip to Tennessee and was pretty easy to get to the trails for side by sides once we figured out where they were . Everybody we ran into were very friendly and helpful . Great time ! Thanks it’s Fred and his wife for allowing us to stay there .

    If you are traveling to Norris Lake to fish this place is perfect. Had the best parking with truck and boat of any place I have stayed at near Norris. You are 2 min from Indian River ramp, 10 min to Lonas Young/ Whitebridge and 20 min to the Dam. Once you come off the lake you are 5 min from multiply places to eat. The host was very responsive and answered our questions. The Yard Barn was perfect. Very clean, very comfortable and in a very well lit nice lake marina neighborhood I have not doubt I have found the only place I will ever stay again when fishing Norris.

    The property was exactly what we were looking for. It was clean, comfortable, and quaint. It perfectly suited our needs as we visited Campbell county to hike segments of the Cumberland Trail. We will definitely return. Thanks for the accommodations!

    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
