Unterhaltsamer Mehrgenerationen-Familienmusik-Gemütlicher Rückzugsort für 22 Personen

We have turned this old church into a place where people can get together and make memories! What does this place have to offer in such a small town? It is equipped with a full kitchen, coffee bar, and an 18 foot table for everyone to join together in meals or games. The Crossing offers 8 bedrooms with 3 king beds, 7 queen beds, and 2 futons (one queen and one full) There's plenty of space for everyone. Brand new appliances with a full kitchen and a full game room/library will always give you something to do. There are many games and puzzles in our game room. Art supplies have been supplied to create art as well! There is sound equipment connected with mics to sing or amps for guitars for groups to come together, write songs and jam the night away (per request). We have a kid’s cove for little ones to be entertained. We also have children toys and kitchenware. There is a park, pavilion and large outdoor space right across the road. Yes it is a small town, but Albright’s Meat (amazing) grocery store/ meat market is a block away for all your needs. There is a Walmart 5 minutes away for all other needs. Our cozy space is handicap accessible as well. Six bedrooms, kitchen, bathrooms are all located on the same level. Bathrooms are stocked with 2 rolls per bathroom. There is a chair lift to access the upper space too! We have designed the property to be cozy with comfy chairs, nice beds and welcoming to multi-generations. Parties are not allowed without permission. There are lounge chairs, blankets, and couches placed all over the cozy space to relax upstairs or downstairs. It offers large areas to congregate and smaller more intimate areas as well. We have a game room as well as a library. The Crossing is close to the interstate 69 and a state road 6, making it super easy for travel.
