About Shawn Hipp
My husband and I bought Hipp's Hideaway for rental purposes in 2001. We had been in the rental business for 18 years in St. Paul, MN, and thought we'd try something more 'fun'. We were able to get in on the building process add many of the finishing touches ourselves. As we were seasoned vacaton renters, we were able to keep the needs of renters in mind. Our goal was ... and is.. to make you feel like it is YOUR place during your stay......
We selected Hayward as a great rental area, then looked at 31 properties. We were always drawn back to Tiger Cat Cove. Yes, it was strong in all the basic 'investment oriented' things... large wooded lot, good frontage, good sized lakehome, but also had an amazing serenity piece that the others didn't. Our guestbook at the cabin can attest to this as well... come check us out!
SHAWN JOHNSON-HIPP (female)...
I get mistaken for a male all the time -- but it is less traumatic now than in 7th grade when I was assigned to the boys locker room for my PE class :) ....
Shawn Hipp purchased this house in 2001
Why Shawn Hipp chose Northwest
We were determined to invest in an area that would welcome us AND our guests, and Hayward fit the bill. There are tons of things to do right at the cabin, nearby, or in town. Great dining options abound. The superior water clarity into the fall, the sand bottom frontage, and the varied woods surrounding the property kept drawing us back.
What makes this house unique
Well paved backroads for walks and biking. Fun chain of lakes to explore +++ great fishing. Cabin comes with 2 canoes, a kayak and a paddleboat. Rent a stand up paddleboat in town!
Free evening concerts featuring the loons, accompanied by the bull frogs. Crickets will chime in as well. Suggested finale is to finish off your concert experience watching the dance & crackle of a lakeside campfire and take in the visual array of the evening stars and moon against the pitch black sky...

We vacationed in the Troncones in search for our ultimate wave, and the boys had KING bunks. Loved them... but too big for our space --so settled on queen bunks. We built them ourselves + distressed them by carving the edges & putting nails in socks and whacking them! Fun project for all.

Wonderful!

Better than we expected! Highly recommended!
We had a great stay at Hipp's Hideaway! The scenery is beautiful, everything was very clean and well kept, just as advertised. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for meals during our stay. The lake was very quiet and peaceful. The kids were thrilled with boating, kayaking, and great fishing. The owner was responsive and helpful with all of our questions. We hope to stay again next year!
A True Northwoods Getaway!
A True Northwoods Getaway!
Gorgeous Home with many amenities included. Everything you need to getaway from the day to day grind. The owners are very responsive and the place is very well kept.
Beautiful quiet lake - my kids loved canoeing and fishing right from the dock.
Campfires at night roasting marsh mellows and singing oldies.
MEMORIES THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME!
A real gem!
We had a wonderful long weekend at Hipp's. Everything was as advertised or better: very peaceful place, both the cabin and location; clean and well-maintained; we are hoping to go back for a longer trip sometime!
Awesome property
We had a great time. Great view and very helpful hosts. For people fishing, you will need 300 feet of cord to charge your boat.
Tranquility and comfort in equal measure.
We had a wonderful week in the woods. This quiet spot is close enough to one of Wisconsin's premiere vacation towns that there's plenty to do ... or lots of nothing. We chose a bit of both.
Just Lovely!
We had a lovely stay at Hipp's Hideaway! The property is beautiful, as described. The lake is very quiet in terms of boat traffic. Almost none. We heard the loons regularly. Saw them a few times, too.
We all enjoyed swimming in the lake, even our 4-year-old grandson. And the paddling was very nice, both on the lake to the dam, through the Flowage to other lakes, and even down the Chief River.
The local roads were very conducive to walking, pushing a stroller, and biking.
The home is very conducive to a family gathering, with a nice open kitchen/dining/living space. It was easy to prepare meals, play games, and just relax.
We do hope to return to Hipp's Hideaway!
