close by.
Cross country skiing is handy and
when the river is frozen, there is skat-
ing on the Avon. Reservations for
squash can be arranged at the Golf
and Country Club.

Benmiller Inn
famous as retreat
from hectic
modern life
Ever since the old Gledhill woolen
mill was transformed into a stylist
country inn in the 1970's, Benmiller
has been a destination of choice for
those wanting to get away from it all.
For those wom out by the hustle and
bustle of the city, Benmiller must
seem like an oasis of calm. Even for
those of us from western Ontario,
used as we are to a more peaceful
lifestyle, the serenity of Benmiller is
startling, with only the passing of the
odd car to impinge on the birds' songs
and the sound of rushing water from
Sharpe's Creek and the Maitland
River.
It's ironic that the Gledhill mill,
known for its woolen blankets and the
Pfrimmcr grist mill, both the scene of
long hours of toil in the early part of
the century, should become islands for
relaxation today. The hamlet of Ben -
miller has turned from a tiny industri-
al village to a resort village as one by
one the abandoned buildings were
converted into parts of the Benmiller
Inn. Today you can enjoy the most
luxurious pleasures while in the coun-
try atmosphere.
Benmiller Inn today offers 48 guest
