Called a Weekend Won- derland Package, the rate includes overnight accommodation for two, dinner for two either Friday or Satur- day, breakfast Saturday and Sunday.

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 22 TOWNSMAN/JANUARY-FEBRUARY 1992 100th NMVER)1R?
