Our name, Bear Bottom Resort, was inspired by our family's love for the outdoors and our children's love of spending the summer barefoot. Originally built in 1959 by Mr. Eddie Bryant, the resort opened as The Holly Air Resort, boasting such "lavish" amenities as air conditioned rooms, electricity and a pool. Our 58 acre resort features lakefront rental units, two restaurants, three bars, an RV park and campground, two waterslides, 38 covered boat slips, fuel dock, gift shop and a boat ramp.
