welcome to the lake

Your own slice of the Whitefish Chain.

Set on quiet Dream Island, just a short bridge off the mainland, Isle Be Back is a roomy three-level retreat built for gathering. Warm knotty-pine interiors and big lake-view windows inside; a huge wraparound deck, firepit, and private dock on Little Pine Lake out back. With room for ten and 14 connected lakes to explore, there's room for the whole crew to spread out and unwind.

Everything you need

Stocked and ready when you arrive — so you can drop your bags and head straight for the dock.

Northern lights over Crosslake

after the sun goes down

Bonfires, big stars, and the northern lights.

Gather around the lakeside firepit and look up. Crosslake's dark skies put on a show, from blankets of stars to the occasional aurora shimmering right over the water.

Your hosts

John and Kimberly, your hosts

Hi, we're John & Kimberly.

We've been coming up to the Crosslake area for many years to enjoy all the adventures on the Whitefish Chain. We're excited to finally have a place of our own up here — and just as excited to share it with others when we're not using it ourselves.

We hope Isle Be Back becomes one of your favorite places to come back to, too.

Cared for locally

Managed by Mike Fish & Minnesota Real Estate & Management

Because we live a few hours from the lake, we've partnered with Mike Fish and his team at Minnesota Real Estate & Management to look after Isle Be Back when we're not here. They're based right in the Brainerd Lakes area, specialize in lake homes, and have earned Airbnb Superhost status five years running — so when you reach out, you're getting someone local who knows this house, this lake, and this area.

Mike is a call or text away with responsive, 24/7 support throughout your stay — whether something needs attention or you just want a recommendation for the best walleye sandwich in town. From getting into the house to finding the best spots on the Chain, he'll help make your time at the lake as easy and enjoyable as possible.
