Hilltop Hideaway- Cozy Updated Waterfront Retreat on Tiger Cat Chain of Lakes
Hilltop Hideaway- Hayward WI
Escape to the serene beauty of Hilltop Hideaway, a waterfront cabin nestled on the tranquil shores of Placid Lake in the picturesque Tiger Cat Chain of Lakes in Hayward WI.
Fully renovated cozy lakefront cabin with all the amenities and huge detached rec room, sleeps 8 and all sitting on ~2 wooded acres to spread out.
This cabin is located on Placid Lake which is a fully recreational 162 acre lake located in Sawyer County.
Placid Lake is a clean, clear, and quiet lake perfect for a pontoon, fishing boat, ski boat, canoe or kayak. Placid lake is also part of the 819 acre Tiger Cat Chain of 6 lakes which has boat access throughout to Burns, Tiger Cat, McClaine, Upper and Lower Twin Lakes.
Fish include Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Northern and Walleye. Experienced fishing guides can be recommended. Bird-watching is plentiful on the Tiger Cat and can often be combined with a leisurely paddle on the lake.
The cabin comes stocked with 2 canoes and 4 kayaks for use and there is a beautiful sandbar just around the bay with easy kayak access from the private dock for swimming or just hanging out for the afternoon. Adult and child sized lifejackets provided for safety. Bring your own motored boat or pontoon or rent one right on the lake and avoid trailering and loading/unloading. Contact us for rental details once you book.

This cozy lake cabin has knotty pine walls and ceilings throughout the interior to create a wonderful northwoods experience.
The fully remodeled kitchen is filled with all new cooking utensils, updated appliances and also includes a convenient microwave and toaster oven for those quick snacks,

Fully finished bright and airy detached rec room with huge table for your whole family, and cozy loveseat /couch area, 4 bunk system for sleeping our lounging, and 2 TVs. Game room is stocked with games and is perfect for large groups to enjoy board games, cards, dice shaking, foosball, conversation or a meal and is heated for year round use.
Large fire pit with ample seating and generously stocked with firewood is the perfect place to take in the breathtaking sunsets over the lake.

Things to do in the area: If the lake isn't enough!!
