The Tinker Swiss Cottage is a historic house museum and park in Rockford, Illinois, United States.

On his return to Rockford, Tinker built himself a 27-room, two-storey Swiss-style cottage on a limestone bluff overlooking Kent Creek.

[1] Most striking is the interior for its dimensions including the high ceilings, angled roof, and unique designs in many of the first floor rooms.

Many elements of the house were created or inspired by the ideas of Tinker, including the walnut spiral staircase which Robert himself made out of a single piece of wood and the rooms with rounded corners.

Tinker Swiss Cottage was featured on season 8, episode 20 of Ghost Hunters, and offers monthly paranormal tours.
