Bear Bottom Resort is steeped in history, dating back to its founding in 1959 when it was originally known as The Holly Air Resort, created by Eddie Bryant. Over the decades, the resort evolved and grew, becoming a cherished destination for visitors seeking relaxation and adventure at Lake of the Ozarks. In 2008, the Sutcliffe family took the reins, transforming it into Bear Bottom Resort and adding beloved amenities like the waterslides, swim-up bars, and expanded lodging.
In 2024, the legacy continued as Lindsay Barth became the new owner, dedicated to preserving the resort’s rich history while looking ahead to future adventures. Through the years, Bear Bottom Resort has remained a special place where families and friends come together to make lasting memories, blending tradition with modern touches to create the ultimate lakeside escape.
