10/10 Excellent

"Amazing spacious rooms. Great breakfasts daily"

Skeet’s Retreat: Lake Herman Lakefront Getaway Near Madison, SD - Sleeps 8

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of 7 had a great time! We played on the beach (bring water shoes-it's a little rocky!), played bean bags outside and inside (the garage was a good spot to hang out in when it rained). There was plenty of seating with the table and the kitchen counter area. The cabin was very clean and there were a lot of things to use like marshmallow sticks, crockpots, air fryer, etc. My son loved taking the little mini kayak thing out by the dock and we took the canoe out a few times.My only critique and it's no fault on the owner, it was just my oversight, was that the beach is across a road. The road is NOT busy at all, but with 3 smaller kids- it did cause some maneuvering. Mostly kids are kids and when you get down to the beach, someone ALWAYS has to use the bathroom :D Living room area isn't huge but was fine for us- we didn't spend a lot of time there. The couch was very comfortable. We had a very good time and the neighbors and owner are SO nice. Instant messages back if we had questions. The neighbors took us out for a pontoon ride one night- they were very nice people. Very nice place on a very quiet lake."
