About this property
Welcome to Birken Lakeside Resort

Guests can enjoy a seasonal lakeside restaurant, a general store, and convenient boat docks on site.
The location places visitors within close reach of outdoor attractions, including the serene Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park and the popular Joffre Lakes Park, both known for hiking, canoeing, and scenic mountain views. Upper Joffre Lake, rated highly by visitors, is also nearby for those looking to explore more natural beauty during their stay.
Check-in is available from 15:00 with a noon check-out, allowing for flexible travel arrangements. While the resort does not offer amenities such as breakfast, a pool, or airport shuttle, it does provide access to a golf course and maintains a smoke-free environment. The property has received a moderate guest score for location, reflecting its appeal for those seeking outdoor activities but possibly less suitable for travelers expecting a full range of hotel services.
Located at 9179 Pemberton Portage Rd in Birken, BC, the resort is accessible by car in under an hour from nearby Whistler/Green Lake Waterdrome. The setting and amenities make it a practical choice for visitors planning to explore the natural surroundings rather than relying on extensive on-site facilities.
