I'm a quite adventurous retiree, eager to keep traveling and happy to meet new people. An avid reader, walker, more gourmand than gourmet. Home exchanges have been a lovely way to share my house and explore places by really staying in an area for a bit instead of just breezing through an intriguing place. I am glad to share information about favorite places in my part of the world and appreciate hearing about yours. I've only done two exchanges so far but they've both been wonderful and I look forward to many more. I'll be glad to answer questions you might have.

Description de notre maison d'échange
This is a very unusual house, waterfront on a lake shared by 1040 families. The house comes with kayaks, a swim ladder into the lake, a barbeque down by the lake, and a wood burning pizza oven. The community provides several beaches with lifeguards during the summer and the area is a delight year round.
We are open to all destinations, simulaneous and nonsimultaneous.
The time our home is available to you is flexible. This is a wonderful and a very friendly community deep inside the beltway. The peaceful lake centered community is tucked between close in Arlington and Falls Church. It is well known to DC natives but generally missed by those passing through. Just a few blocks from the neighborhood oasis are a multitude of restaurants and groceries.
Lovely hideaway - Lake Barcroft is a unique neighborhood in close in Northern Virginia, only 15-20 minutes across the Potomac by car (Route 50 goes straight into town) The East Falls Church station is 10 minutes away, with a direct direct line east to DC with a stop at the Smithsonian) making surprisingly easy access to the museums and activities of Washington. This is a particularly nice place to stay when visiting DC in the summer as a long day of touring can be topped off by a cool swim in the lake. There is a surprising variety of restaurants and grocery stores in nearby Falls Church, Bailey's Crossroads, Annandale and Arlington. You name the type of cuisine and it is likely to be a short drive away.
I would be happy to answer any questions about the house and neighborhood.

Description de notre quartier et ses alentours
Lake Barcroft, is a unique within the beltway treasure. This house has a large SW facing yard down to a lake that is lovely year round and fine for kayaking and swimming during the summer. Because a group of 1045 families owns and manages the lake the neighborhood is especially friendly with a warm sense of community. A few blocks outside this little oasis there's a large selection of restaurants, grocery stores, and routes into Washington DC. There are several kayaks, a canoe, a rowboat, a SUP, and a sailfish at the house. The neighborhood maintains several beaches, with lifeguards during the summer. One could have groceries delivered and Uber to the East Falls Church metro only 10-15 minutes away but having a car is really advisable in the Washington area as so many interesting day trips are easily reachable only by car. The nearest grocery store is a 40 minute walk away.

Nos conseils pour des restaurants, cafés, shopping et activitiés à ne pas manquer
See guidebooks for the Washington DC metropolitan area.
There is a surprising choice of restaurants just a few blocks outside the immediate neighborhood. Annandale has a large cluster of Korean restaurants, Seven Corners boasts the Eden Center, a major Vietnamese Center. There are restaurants scattered around the area with a dizzying array of cuisines and groceries: Thai, Chinese, French, German, Turkish, Afghan, Lebanese, and Peruvian, to name a few. Alexandria and Mount Vernon are not too far away and of course there is Washington DC (best by metro using the East Falls Church stop). Luray Caverns, Annapolis and Baltimore are also good day trips.
