About this farm stay rental

Seclusion. Privacy. Nature. Comfort. Peace and quiet. Hotel Watusi.

Two bedroom, two bathroom cottage, secluded, on a well maintained gravel road behind a gate, on a 45 acre working farm on the Alabama River. Ten minutes from downtown Montgomery, Alabama with its museums and Civil Rights and Civil War history. Fifteen minutes from downtown Prattville and Wetumpka. Five minutes from Interstate 65, Exit 179. Ten minutes from the world class Robert Trent Jones, Capitol Hill Golf Course in Prattville, host of numerous LPGA events, which Golf Magazine called one of the ten public courses in America worthy of hosting the U.S. Open.

The farm raises exotic African cattle, the Watusi, which grow the largest horns in the world. We also raise American Blackbelly sheep. The Alabama River is a ten minute walk from the cottage (through the gate next to the yacht, the Marooned Marauder II - Follow the gravel road to the water), with a dock and concrete boat ramp. Fish from the dock or bring a kayak. White sand beaches are within sight (and a short kayak paddle) of the dock.

Relax on the porch and watch the Watusi graze. Flatscreen TV with 250 plus DVD library. If you’re coming to the River Region/Montgomery area for work or play, or just passing through on your way to the beach, stop here and take a break.

One bedroom has two twin beds. The other bedroom has a single twin bed. The sofa in the living room has a fold out queen size bed. Two bathrooms each with shower. Kitchen is complete with dishwasher and stove, microwave, coffee maker, refrigerator and freezer, all new. An electric fireplace. Two grills, one propane, one charcoal. Bar with inlaid fossil shark teeth and arrowheads.

The owner, an attorney, lives on the farm, on the river bank, but you can’t see his house from the cottage which is at the opposite end of the farm, and he won’t bother you or see you unless you need assistance. The farm is mostly grazing pastureland, with scattered trees. Wildlife is abundant. The farm is bordered on two sides by a 450 acre wildlife preserve. Deer are everywhere and the farm is a bird watcher’s paradise. Bald eagles, sea gulls, sandhill cranes, ducks, geese, blue and white herons, kingfishers, hawks and osprey can be seen most days.

If you’re beach bound, have business in the capitol city, or have come for golf, ask yourself. Do you want to stay at a hotel, separated from strangers by a thin wall? Or do you want to stay on an exotic African cattle farm, close to all the local attractions and restaurants, with the same comforts, more security, nobody looking your way but deer and giant horned Watusi? Come stay at the Hotel Watusi. It might be the best part of your trip.
