This was totally awesome!!!
Mahalia’s home in the woods was great!! We all loved the house and all the homey touches ( art, books, wood burning stove, bathtub!). We had all we needed and truly enjoyed our time. We would love to come back in the future. The proximity to the SEKI parks was superb. A great time was had by my family. Thanks again Mahalia!!!
