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 Round Lake
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.

This is a Great Rental. Communicating with the owner and property manager was wonderful!
Very nice property,just as described.
Wonderful getaway spot!
Thanks for taking such good care of our place while you are there. We hope you make it an annual girls getaway to the Cranberry Festival! ... Or check out another one of the many fall festivals in the area ==> the Hayward Fall Fest, Spooner Fest, Cable Fest, Sawyer County Fair, etc.! Did you check out Farmstead Cafe by us, too? Farm to table -- and fabulous. Worth a trip back :)
A True Northwoods Getaway!
Thanks for your kind review -- glad you enjoyed your stay. Beautiful time of year up there now :) Did your fireside concerts blend in with the loons and the bullfrogs? Come back and try us some winter/spring or mid-summer! ==> Paths through the woods are cleared again ==>
Better than we expected! Highly recommended!
Thanks for your kind words -- I'm glad we surpassed your expectations ! ( How can I do a better job of reflecting the true serenity of this property on my listing? I hear that all the time! ... Soft music playing while watching videos on hippshideaway dot com? )
You were great renters as well -- so it was a good fit. I look forward to your next visit --try us for a fall/winter/spring getaway, too! As a repeat renter in good standing you will not have to provide a deposit.
A real gem!
Thanks for your kind words and for taking such good care of our property, too. Come back again next year or try us this fall/winter !
