Birkie 2024
We had positive experiences with the host even before check in. Shawn was most responsive to any and all inquiries and willing to please. The house was perfect for four couples. 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.

Property was great!
This house was not directly on the UTV trail and they do not allow them in the neighborhood. You have to trailer it in/out every day. The property itself was great- it had everything we needed!

Relaxing Fall weekend
Came to Hipp's Hideaway for a relaxing girls weekend. Fall colors were wonderful but rained first 1 1/2 days. That limited our time to canoe and not able to use either firepit. House was clean and comfortable. Communication with owner was timely and helpful. I would stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Shawn Hipp

Host profile image
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 :) ....

Why they chose this property

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. PLUS, as I emphasized above -- it had that special feel ~~~ that serenity piece. Grab a local wine, sit on the dock and listen to the loon calls.

What makes this property unique

Well paved backroads for walks and biking. Fun chain of lakes to explore +++ great fishing. Cabin comes with 2 canoes, a single AND a double kayak and a paddleboat. Rent a SUP or a pontoon or bring your own boat. U shaped dock great for tying up your boat.

Free evening concerts featuring the loons, accompanied by the bull frogs. Crickets will chime in as well. Occasional taps are played at sunset by a local vet who lives on the lake.
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 ! Upper firepit has been added for those lazy nights...
