We planned to retire in Friends House fifty years ago. We often visited my mother-in-law when she was here. She loved it.

I have not been a bit disappointed in anything. The Lodge is totally comfortable in that it is well insulated against the outside world. It has wonderful windows to the woods so enjoying the trees and animals therein is a daily blessing.
It is the lovely group of residents that I associate with daily that makes this community special. People come from varied backgrounds, have captivating interests, and are friendly. It’s a socially warm community, indeed.
The frosting on the cake for me are the woods, trails, and the Sandy Spring that are nearby. Even as walking gets limited in my life, there is still energy for the beautiful walks just across the stream.
