Business profile: Bear Bottom Resort

For Matt and Melissa Sutcliffe, it’s a work and play relationship they have with their seven children who are an integral part of Bear Bottom Resort just off Highway 5 in Sunrise Beach. Ranging in age from 6 to 20, Marc, Megan, Amanda, Cortney, Kelsey, Shawn and MacKenzi can be seen scurrying around the complex undertaking a variety of chores.

Originally built in 1959 by Eddie Bryant, the resort opened as The Holly Air Resort, boasting such “lavish” amenities as air conditioned rooms, electricity and a pool. The Sutcliffe family bought the resort on Aug. 1, 2008, and immediately started to renovate, repair and re-invent a classic lakefront resort.

On the horizon as part of a 10-year plan is expansion of the campground area, the addition of 32 individual cabins and a retain development of 400 feet of Highway 5 frontage in Sunrise Beach. If the economy strengthens, another water feature might be added along with improvements and expansion of the boat docks.
