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 -- (plus 3 REASONS you should NOT:):
TOP 5 REASONS TO COME:
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 for fishing, canoeing/kayaking or paddle boat 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 explore. (We call it the Wisconsin Everglades!) Lots of wildlife -- and very little invasive species or algae issues ! Made list of top 20% healthiest lake in Wisconsin!
3) THE HOUSE: 2200 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, morning coffee seating, 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 in the cozy back area -- and an airy bar/rec room area for games & movies. 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 70 meandering steps to the lake. Lakeside there is another firepit and dockside sitting area -- and a double dock for your boating/swimming pleasure. Grab & Go with one of our 3 canoes, 2 kayaks or the SELF DRAINING pedal boat (no yucky prep!)
4) THE AREA ==> Close to Birkie Trails (XC Ski, Snowshoe, ATV, Snowmobile, etc!) PLUS -- we are close to all the tourist action in Hayward, Cable, & Stone Lake. Check out all the festivals ! Great restaurants nearby or in town.
5) THE AMMENITIES==> AC, Fireplaces both real and gas, New Starlink Internet, Washer/Dryer. Large turn-around driveway / ample parking. Easy access to boat ramp and Snowmobile Trail # 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 !

Whether you're seeking a relaxing retreat or an adventure-filled getaway, this property has everything you need for an unforgettable vacation.

    Awesome week at Hipp’s Hideaway.. The cabin was perfect for a multiple family vacation. Very quiet area to relax and catch up with family. Did catch more bass than pike this year. Enjoyed having the 2 canoes to fish from and the new paddle boat was a hit. Will be back again!

    Beautifully appointed property, great views and privacy, and the house was stocked with every fun thing you could think of for inside and outside. Every time you opened a cupboard or drawer, you found new games and books. Kitchen was also well stocked. Comfortable beds. The fire pit outside in the deck with beautiful views were highlights for family gathering, quiet solo time, and relaxing.

    Great place to stay. Plenty of utensils available, shampoo, everything you need is there! Beautiful view of the lake! There are a lot of stairs to go down to the lake which are not steep but may be an issue for some. The home was clean and very roomy. We give it a 10!!

    Too much good stuff to say . Fam loved everything and every detail on point. We did fish a lot off the dock...beautiful... like fishing in an aquarium so clear. Lots of sunnies, few bass, a HUGE musky/pike that broke off dockside. Sighted a few large musky/pike lurking around too. Huge splash follow up musky attack on my 9yr olds sunfisb! Caught one monster but it broke off docksideCanoes/kayaks also got GREAT use. We did the channels to Lake Placid(2 lakes away). Wisconsin Everglades def some of the best paddling weve done and we've done quite a bit in BWCA. Everglades is fitting name especially in the morning fog. Lakes were calm, glasslike, crystal clear The cabin itself and property perfection for us. From the views, to the fire pits, to the night stars. Everything us city folk want in lake getaway. Inside was super nice, and clean, but comfortable and usable. Ty again for your attention to detail and offering this great place for others to.enjoy. We will definitely look to come back. We even mentioned how beautiful it'd be in fall/ winter.

    We had an amazing 4 days at Hipp’s Hideaway. Very comfortable for 6 of us. So many amenities and details to make the stay fun and easy. The lake is clean and gorgeous, we loved using the canoes/kayaks to explore. Very few bugs even! We were able to relax and enjoy each others company. Perfect family vacation. My only regret is that we didn’t rent it for a full week.

    The property is just as described! The house was great, roomy and had everything we needed and more. We even played some family feud and other card games on our rainy day. It slept our group of 8 perfectly. It’s tucked away and very peaceful. The view from the house deck was beautiful, you could see the lake and the docks below. The docks and seating area down by the lake was also very nice and roomy. All of us could fish, swim and enjoy the lake. The canoes and Lilly pad were a hit with the kids. The owners were very responsive and helpful. Easy to work with! Overall we had a great family vacation!!

    Hipp’s Hideaway is a what a small slice of heaven looks like. My family and I had an amazing time there. There was amazing fishing, right off the dock, tons of water toys, very little lake traffic. It felt like we had the lakes to ourselves. The cabin itself had such a warm ambience it felt like home. They have tons of board games and movies for those family fun nights! All the kitchen utilities you could want for great family dinners! Just an all around great place!

    This was our second stay at Hipp's Hideaway, and as before, this home was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped. Shawn has thought of everything! The bed was super comfortable, and the common areas very spacious. Our grandkids really enjoyed the kayaks and swim pad. The owners were very responsive when contacted, too, which was much appreciated.

    We had 8 people on our trip, our kids ranged from 6-19, and everyone had a great time. Enjoyed the downstairs hang out for the older kids. Really loved the balcony and the fire pit area - we spent a lot of time there. Great fishing! Oh, and the king size bed in the master was so comfortable - I rarely sleep well away from home, but had no problem here we were just bummed the paddle boat wasn't there for us to use!

    We had an amazing time at our stay with our adult children and their spouses. The three bedrooms and 3 baths gave everyone space. But provides ample spaces for playing cards, around the firepit, reading, fishing, or just relaxing! Lots to do for everyone nearby and kept everyone entertained with lots of together time.Our hosts were amazing and offered so many recommendations around the area and checked it to ensure our experience was great! Thank you for fantastic memories!

    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!

    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.

    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.
