Tree lined shoreline with sand bottom swim area & great fishing... on 1300 acre Tiger Cat Chain of 6 Lakes... great wildlife & kayaking...girls/golf getaway! ... Great fall/winter hideaway, too -- ON snowmobile trail 14&19, close to Birkie XC Ski/Mt. Bike Trails & ATV trails.... and great road biking, too! ! HIPP'S HIDEAWAY has something for everyone. Great for R&R. Soft adventures abound. Besides good swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, mt biking, road biking, hiking, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling & golfing.... we also have access to great shopping, restaurants, antiquing, etc. We are right on Fall Color Tour #1!

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 Hayward

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... Bring your flashlight it gets pitch black dark if there isn't a full moon !

Fall colors were spectacular - house was roomy and spacious ... enjoyed every day regardless of the rain or coolness. It was incredible to be able to hike down the roads - see the changing foliage and never need to move for a car. Deck view was a favorite too. Went canoeing three days on the lake - peaceful and cathartic - excellent lake canoe to use. Definitely a great time.

Set a distance from the lake with a secluded feeling.

The amenities at the lake are wonderful if you can use them; it was rainy and cold for us. As 6 women having an R&R the LR seating and space was wonderful......so was the deck which we could enjoy one day.....and the table seating. It was a lovely walk to the dam. With the right timing the fall colors would be beautiful, lots of maples. We missed reading that towels were NOT included, so don't forget them if you rent......RB

Owner's Response:

Glad your stay was pleasant. The fall colors are popping now ! There are "courtesy" towels and soaps provided in the master bathroom, and my property manager rushed out to get more out when you called for more, so hope it worked out OK. Come back next year mid-October to hit the colors. It's hard to time mother nature. . . Check out our personal (approved) website for more detailed information and our suggested TO BRING list -- it's all in there as well as in the rental agreement:)

Everything was as we expected!

We had a wonderful stay at Hipps Hideaway! We spent most of our time fishing, and swimming by the dock. The cabin was perfect for our family!

Perfect family vacation!

Stayed for 5 days with my group and every thing was SUPER!

3 bathrooms is wonderful when you have a group.

The setting is very senic and the location is away from highways and gives you that Up-North Wisconsin adventure. Thank You Shawn!

Very nice property,just as described.

This is our third time to stay at Hipp's Hideaway. We love to stay here in the fall surrounded by the beauty of nature 🍁� It's quiet and relaxing out on the deck looking at the night time sky 🌌� and coming in to a warm cozy fire 🔥�makes for a perfect night. I'm certain we will be back again. Thank you.
