Videos taken from the hotel deck today! š¦ā¤ļø
A little backstory: when we purchased Hotel Rio Vista in 2013, we had no idea weād gain such a beloved annual tradition. Without fail, every year in late May or early June, a mama deer delivers her fawns on the little island behind the hotel. They spend about a week there frolicking, exploring, and keeping guests entertained before eventually swimming back to shore.
Returning guests often ask about āour deer familyā and try to time their visit just right. Watching the fawns play from the deck never gets old, and this year is no exception.
Theyāve been especially active today, and since I couldnāt choose just one video, you get several! š
