About the host
Hosted by Don Ptacnik
Don and Marline Ptacnik (say-Tack Nick) were married under the large White 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 (.25 acres+) 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 50 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 they chose this property
The proximity to the core of downtown Bend makes The Second Street Cottage an ideal 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 micro garden environments ranging from formal to natural areas. The Cottage has dedicated on-site parking and a private entry.
