Get To The Lake! Canoes & kayaks included. Sand bottom swimming + good fishing!

Welcome to Hipp's Hideaway On Tiger Cat Cove -- a stunning lakefront 3-bedroom 3-bath vacation home on 2 wooded acres near Hayward, Wisconsin.

HERE ARE 5 REASONS to rent this place -- and 3 REASON you shouldn't !
COME................................ due to our:
1) LOCATION: 13 minutes from the action Hayward... Secluded feel (QUIET, can't see neighbors from our decks, ) 2 variously wooded acres to explore... great place to walk or bike from... close to boat ramp! Great views of island from cabin & decks.
2) TIGER CAT LAKE: Great fishing, canoeing/kayaking or pontoon exploration! Swimmable sand bottom shoreline -- natural setting with CLEAR water year 'round. Part of the 1300 acre Tiger Cat Flowage -- a chain of 6 lakes you can canoe/kayak and boat to: Burns, Placid are closest, plus smaller boats can get under bridge to Upper & Lower Twin + McClain. Great fun in exploring the chain. (We call it the Wisconsin Everglades!) Lots of wildlife -- and very little invasive species or algae issues !
3) THE HOUSE: 2100 square feet indoors on two levels.... Upper level is even with driveway with large family room with dining table and fully stocked eat in kitchen all in one area... There are 2 bedrooms on main level. The master suite has a king log bed with an oversized bathtub and seperate shower in bathroom, while the queen guestroom has easy access to the common area bathroom across the hall. The family room/kitchen/dining area spills out into the upper deck with great island views and a grilling area. There is natural fireplace in the upper family room and a gas fireplace in the lower family room. The lower level boasts a QUEEN bunkbed, another bathroom with shower, a laundry room leading to the game/movie room with a bar area. Views continue on the 20x40 walkout deck with a swing, picnic table, and room for your bean bag game ! The lower deck spills down to the a firepit area and steps to the lake. Lakeside there is another firepit and dockside sitting area -- and a double dock for your boating/swimming pleasure.
4) THE AREA ==> Close to Birkie Trails (XC Ski, Snowshoe, ATV, Snowmobile, etc!) plus all the tourist action in Hayward, Cable, & Stone Lake. Great restaurants abound as well!
5) THE AMMENITIES==> AC, Fireplaces both real and gas, Internet, Washer/Dryer. Large turn-around driveway / good parking. Easy access to boat ramp and Snowmobile Trail 14 and 18. (ATV trails nearby -- with gravel road access).

DON'T COME IF==>
1) You can't do steps (unless you just want to chill in northwoods from upper deck!) We have 63 meandering (not steep!) steps to lake. See photos and decide for yourself! We are not handicapped accessible, but there are only 5 steps to upper deck and upper level of house -- and we have been able to host physically challenged individuals if they can work around those parameters :)
2) You have more than 8 people or want to party. It's a quiet cove -- need to blend in so you can hear the loon and frog concerts at night ! Plus we have a friendly agreement with our neighbors and want to keep it that way . . .
3) You have animals. Due to allergies and neighbor agreements we cannot allow even small cute well behaved ones, sorry.

IF THIS FITS what you are looking for -- give us a holler !

Amazing Stay!

Hipp’s Hideaway was everything we could ever want in a vacation home. Spacious and clean bedrooms, the COMFIEST pillows, great views of the lake, and your own private dock for a boat. The only recommendation I have would be a TV in the main bedroom, but that’s just my preference. :)This was our 12th trip to Hayward and it wasn’t even over before we were planning our next one!

Nice, Woodsy Getaway

Great location, great home, great host. The cabin was cozy, had all the basics that we needed and a wonderful view of the water.We were ATVing while we stayed at this home. Trails were relatively close by and the driveway had plenty of room to load and unload the rigs. Even caught a couple fish off the dock. We enjoyed our visit.

Great getaway

We came up for the Fishing Has No Boundaries event and truly enjoyed our stay. The hideaway was a bit hard for us to find when we first got there due to the storm that night and gps on my phone was being difficult. The only thing I couldnt find that was in the property description was the hot tub. But that was ok as the weather was not cooperative lol.

Our group enjoyed the peace and serenity with no one else around. Watching the deer as they made their way through in the evening. The fire place was our zen zone in the evening. It was the perfect environment for our meditations, conversation and time together.

Weekend Relaxation Before Heading Back to School.

Over the Labor Day weekend, my family and I had an incredible and rejuvenating retreat at Hipp’s Hideaway. It was the perfect back-to-school getaway that turned out to be the highlight of our entire summer. True to its name, the cabin exuded a serene lake house ambiance, and the neighborhood was wonderfully tranquil and welcoming, with the delightful sound of chirping birds filling the air. The kids had a blast fishing off the dock, and the upstairs patio offered an exquisite view of the lake, creating the perfect setting for relaxation and unwinding. The cleanliness and spaciousness of each room in the house exceeded our expectations, and we were pleasantly surprised by the wide array of supplies provided with the rental. In addition, the host was incredibly communicative and amiable throughout our stay, which truly enhanced our experience. Our overall impression was beyond what we had hoped for, and we are truly grateful to the Hipp’s family for hosting us and providing such a memorable experience for my family and me.

Perfect 40th Birthday!

From start to finish, the communication with Shawn was excellent. The place was perfect to celebrate my 40th birthday with my family and some friends. It's isolated, the lake is quiet, perfect setup for adult time on the deck at night, and a huge bonus was the Northern Lights and meteor shower. A quick drive to Hayward provides access to some nice restaurants and a nice Main Street, and we really enjoyed a quick 9 holes over at Big Fish Golf Course. Any time someone has asked how the trip went, there is only one word needed: AWESOME!

Great family "staycation" house

This house offers everything you need to have a fun-filled week on the lake. Whether your kids are young or grown up, like mine, there is something for everyone. Boating, swimming, fishing, lounging on the lily pad, hiking, strolling, exploring. Inside, there's tons of games, movies, puzzles, foosball, large seating areas to just hang out together. The town of Hayward offers lots more with great shopping, dining, and activities. If you're looking for fast-paced adventures, this is not it. But if you're looking to relax, enjoy nature and each other, this is the perfect getaway!

Fishing Friends Annual Trip

Beautiful area and the cabin has a very nice layout We did notice that the kitchen light was missing a bulb or two. We tried to change them but the anchor screws on the light globe were tight There was a nice spot for a bonfire; however there was no split wood available. All in all, a lovely area and cabin. Thank you

It was comfortable for meals and conversation. Very well supplied and lots of information about the home and the area. If I could get our group to commit for a future stay, I’d definitely stay here again. Thank you, Shawn.

Relaxing Stay on the Lake

I stayed here with my family, primarily adults and teens. Everyone had a great time with the included boats and splash pad. We rented a ski boat from Hayward Power Sports and they delivered it to a nearby landing. The house was comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone. The house had all the necessities, even some basic tools and an extension cord - which came in handy for us. The kids enjoyed the nostalgia of using a VCR and enjoyed movie night after the evening campfire. We hope to come back soon!

We are 5 women who play Pickleball together And have done several other getaways to cabins on a lake where we can bike the backroads or trails, eat too much and dodge the mosquitoes (this year) We each had our own bed and space… although I found the futon and mattress too soft and “form fitting”. The bunkbeds in the lower level need a ladder to the top bed. Only one of us Kayaked.. beautiful lake!
