My stay at View Ridge Cottage was great in every respect. The host Melissa has provided many amenities with the place including two bikes and all of the various pots, pans, and household items. I would highly recommend this place to anyone staying near the Sandpoint area of Seattle. It is on a bike trail that goes to the University Plaza, which has various restaurants, grocery stores, and shops. A short walk away is Magnuson park, which on a clear day can boast magnificent views of Mt. Rainier and the surrounding mountains. There is a community center in Magnuson park where you can take ballroom dancing lessons and a host of other things. Close by is Pagliacci pizza, which I also highly recommend. Overall it was a great area and a great place to stay.
