About Don Ptacnik
Don Ptacnik (say-Tack Nick) and Marline were married under the large White Paper Birch located in the yard between The Cottage and their home. Years later, one of our daughters was also married in the yard. That ceremony took place on the small terrace just outside The Cottage. We love our home and the large yard within which The Cottage is located. Between us, we have three adult children and eight grandchildren. Marline is a retired health care executive and Don, your primary host is Marline's Gardener and Painter. We both enjoy people and sharing our secluded space in Downtown Bend. Don has lived in central Oregon for over 45 years and has participated in a number of activities which has provided him with a broad base of knowledge in the available outdoor opportunities. You are welcome to ask for suggestions ranging from the best hikes, automobile tours, bicycle trails/routes to the hidden jewels of coffee shops, museums and other cultural offerings. We want our guests to be pleasantly surprised by the luxury and charm of The Cottage, the grounds and of course, the overall experience. We recognize guests have numerous choices competing for their entertainment dollars and want to provide excellent value and a memorable experience. When every guest departs our goal is to hear them say ...”We will return and will recommend The Second Street Cottage to all our friends”. So far, so good!
Why Don Ptacnik chose Bend
The proximity to the core of downtown Bend makes The Second Street Cottage an idea choice for those wanting to be able to walk to town yet enjoy peace and quite in a secluded setting (.25+ acre). The Cottage is located in a very large backyard which features several macro garden environments ranging from formal to natural areas. The Cottage has dedicated on-site parking and a private entry.

2nd street cottage
Don and Marline have created an outstanding property where every detail has been thought of. By far, the cottage ranks number one of all vrbos we've stayed at!
Wonderful Spot Near Town!
Cozy cottage with all of the amenities of home. Highly recommend!
Perfect awesome accommodations!
High end finishes! Fully stocked with everything you need! Owners very nice
Five star rental
We've rented 13 different homes in bend over the last few years and we have never written a review for any of them. This one takes the cake. Other rentals promise amenities but what is delivered can be sketchy at best. Not so with the cottage! While it is cozy, everything is at your fingertips and the host hasn't forgotten anything from fresh coffee and tea, water, any dish or pot you would need, soap, shampoo and conditioner, yoga mats, a muscle roller and more. We were just tickled by how well stocked and managed this place was and the location was great! It was so quick to walk to restaurants and shops downtown. The host was very quick to respond to any questions we had. We really appreciated using the snow park pass as we hadn't bought one for the season yet. So thoughtful to provide this.
Home Sweet Home
As part of an Oregon Tour de Force, my wife and I spent two memorable days/nights in Bend visiting long time friends, enjoying the town's vibe and environs and being nurtured mornings and evenings by this comforting, conveniently located and well-appointed hideaway. When we return we will seek it out again and allow ourselves to be spoiled by the owners' attentive hospitality.
Beautiful Cottage
This is a beautiful cottage with all the amenities you could ever need on a vacation. The attention to detail is incredible. My husband and I enjoyed the time we spent there as it was quiet, very comfortable and homey, and just a lovely place to come home to after a day of activities. It is a very short walking distance to downtown making shopping and eating convenient. The park by Mirror Pond is very close by as well. We highly recommend staying here and we hope to come back again soon.

Credit cards are no longer accepted -pay through HomeAway
NOTE: VRBO / HOMEAWAY NOW CHARGES ALL RENTERS A VARIABLE "SERVICE FEE" WHICH WILL BE INCLUDED WHEN YOU REQUEST A QUOTE.
Here is VRBO / Homeaway's explaination of the service fee...
Overview
The service fee is paid by the traveler when booking through the HomeAway websites. This fee covers the cost of providing 24/7 customer support, enhanced site and mobile features for both owner and travelers, plus expanded marketing efforts to generate more exposure to global audiences. Additionally, when a traveler books and pays through HomeAway, they are eligible for the Book with Confidence Guarantee.
Paying the fee
Travelers pay the service fee by credit card when paying through the secure HomeAway checkout process. The service fee is only charged to the card once the booking has been accepted by the property owner or manager. The service fee is, on average, approximately 6% of the rental amount, excluding refundable deposit or taxes. This fee is lower than other travel websites that charge a similar fee.
Refunding the fee
The owner does not have the ability to discount or waive the service fee amount. The only time the service fee can be refunded is when an owner uses the Cancellation Refund feature from their dashboard and the cancellation is requested within the terms of the owner/manager's cancellation policy. However, if the reservation is not canceled and all payments fully refunded to the traveler, the service fee will not be refunded.
* Approximate monthly rate. Actual rate will depend on the days of the month you stay.
