At weekends they prefer to stay home and visit some friends.

I am wondering how this sentence is to be paraphrased:

At weekends they prefer to stay home and visit some friends.

I am not sure which ones are close to the original:

1. They like to remain in their house at weekends and they also like to go and see their friends.
2. They like to remain in their house at weekends and to go and see their friends.
3. They like to remain in their house for a while at weekends and then go and see their friends.
4. They go and see their friends on weekdays but would rather remain in their house at weekends.
5. They generally go and see their friends but would rather remain in their house at weekends.
6. They like to remain in their house at weekends or else to go and see their friends.

The original sentence doesn't make sense. Where did you see it?
