A Place to Stay in Woodstock, NY.
Situated just a short stroll into downtown Woodstock Village and directly across from the legendary Tinker Street Cinema, 137 Tinker offers large, modern suites and apartments for extended stays, artist residencies, or for those seeking a getaway in the vibrant Catskills Mountains area in upstate New York.
Built in 1825, this eyebrow colonial has served as a home and artistic refuge for numerous artists and writers, including folk artist Laurie Meseroll, author Joe Hill, Native American sculptor Noel Chisjon Benson, and outsider artist Scott Ackerman.
Set on an acre of land, 137 Tinker offers a selection of sun-filled, eclectic spaces - each with a private, outdoor space and access to our expansive grounds that include lounge areas, a fire pit, and the soothing sounds of the Tannery Brook. Nature lovers will appreciate direct access to the Comeau property, a 76-acre municipal park filled with walking trails, fields, woods, and local swimming holes along the Saw Kill River (dogs are welcome on-leash).

The back forty is a beloved American idiom. In the US, 1 township is 36 square miles (6 miles by 6 miles). Each square mile (a section of land) is divided into 16 subdivisions of 40 acres (1/4 mile by 1/4 mile)-- so a quarter section is 160 acres, a common unit of ownership in the early days of farming. The quarter-section farmer would own two 'front 40s' and two back 40s.
