About this property

Two bedroom, two bathroom house on an African cattle farm on the Alabama River.

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.

Unique Experience
I traveled back up here from our home on the coast. What made this special was getting to see the Watusi and being in such a private loaction. It happened to be exactly what we needed on this rainy November weekend. We went to Fort Toulous's Frontier Days and ate at Montgomery's Volcano Hot Pot restauraunt. Another assett was the clean, nostalgic setup of the cabin and the DVD collection. I showed Nathan the movie Little Miss Sunshine, and he showed me Life Aquatic. We woke up the next morning and had dad coffee from the setup on the kitchen and then went to the porch and identified every bird we could hear. It was all just right.

Peaceful setting
We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the Watusi Hotel. And Dave was a very friendly host. He made it very easy for us to stay there. We did find a challenging to cook, however, because of the limited kitchen implements. Some suggestions of what would have been helpful to have in the kitchen include: glasses, more coffee cups, cutting board, bowls, salad bowl, spatula, etc. We would think twice about staying there again because we do like to cook. Otherwise, it was wonderful. Thank you so much.
