We came to Fredericksburg for the wineries, shopping, and history. One of the members of our group has health issues, and I wanted to find lodging that would be a great place to hang out in case she did not feel like getting out. An ordinary, boring hotel room that looks like any other just would not do, and sometimes in B&B's you just don't feel like you have much privacy, so the little log cabin village looked promising.
The Cotton Gin Village was an excellent choice. All four of us really enjoyed our stay there. We stayed in the Llano and Pecos cabins, and they were both nicely decorated with antiques and reproduction period pieces, both large and small. The breakfast of pastries (yes, as others have stated, bring a ziplock bag with you to keep them fresh!) and granola, with coffee, juice, and milk was more than enough to get an excellent start in the morning.
After sight seeing, the front porches were the perfect place to hang out and enjoy a glass of wine. The grounds are beautifully designed and manicured, with a fountain/water feature in the center of the complex, with more antique and vintage farming items scattered about and incorporated into the scenery.
Regarding the downsides: Like others have stated, the bed is high (a step stool is in the room) and the tub is difficult to step out of (sit on the side and swing your legs over and you'll be fine). We are in our 50's and 60's and had no problem dealing with any of this, but if you are disabled it might be a problem for you. Also, someone mentioned a lack of hangers for hanging clothes. I don't know about the other cabins, but our cabin (Pecos) did have a wardrobe in the bedroom with hangers. And, yes, it is right next to the highway. Our room had one of those white noise machines which would help if the highway noise bothers you, but we never used it. I guess after long days of museums, shopping, wineries, and great dinners with live music, we just didn't need it.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and when we return to F'burg, we will definitely try to get reservations at the Cotton Gin Village.
