Location
Perched on 25 scenic acres beside the Maitland River and Sharpe’s Creek, Benmiller Inn & Spa blends historic character with natural beauty. Set within five unique heritage buildings—including a former woollen mill and grist mill—this serene countryside retreat offers individually styled rooms, refined dining, and spa indulgence at its finest.
Guests can enjoy the on-site Aveda Spa, complete with a full range of luxurious treatments, a relaxing sauna, and a sparkling indoor pool for year-round enjoyment. The Inn’s renowned fine dining restaurant showcases locally inspired cuisine, served in a charming riverside setting that celebrates both comfort and elegance.
Just minutes from the shores of Lake Huron and the picturesque town of Goderich, Benmiller Inn & Spa is the perfect place to unwind, reconnect, and savour every moment.
Mouth-Watering Food
At The Ivey Dining Room, the culinary team draws on the rich harvest of Huron County to present dishes that are both rooted and refined. Start with a Roasted Beet Carpaccio with goat-cheese croquette, walnuts and pickled onion, then move on to a Frenched Pork Chop with apple-chutney and blueberry demi-glace, garlic-parmesan mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Finish with a decadent Flourless Chocolate Cake for example.
Over the weekend, you’ll enjoy a three-course dinner on Friday night, a hearty country breakfast on Saturday morning, another chef-inspired dinner Saturday evening, and a relaxed Sunday brunch before departure. From savoury omelettes and freshly baked pastries to perfectly seared salmon, roasted chicken with herb jus, and locally inspired vegetarian options, every meal is designed to delight your senses and showcase the flavours of Ontario’s countryside.
Whether you’re sipping local wine by candlelight or savouring coffee by the window as the morning mist rises over the river, dining at Benmiller Inn & Spa is a feast for both the palate and the soul.
Relaxing Spa
Tucked within the tranquil River Mill building, the Spa at Benmiller offers a peaceful escape inspired by the natural beauty of its surroundings. Guests can unwind with soothing Aveda-based treatments that nurture both body and spirit — from relaxation and deep-tissue massages to rejuvenating facials, body wraps, and exfoliating scrubs.
Pamper yourself with a manicure or pedicure, melt into the warmth of the sauna, or take a refreshing dip in the indoor pool overlooking the river. Whether you’re seeking total relaxation, a restorative pick-me-up, or a shared spa experience with friends, each treatment is designed to renew your energy and leave you glowing inside and out.
Let the gentle sounds of flowing water and the scent of botanical oils transport you to a place of calm — the perfect complement to your retreat weekend at Benmiller Inn & Spa.
Workshops
At this exclusive getaway, we’re taking our signature Rustic Mama Retreats programming to a whole new level. Our workshops are more elevated, immersive, and inspiring than ever before — designed to spark creativity, confidence, and connection. From hands-on cooking classes with locally inspired ingredients to energizing fitness sessions, mind-body workshops, and beautiful crafts you’ll actually want to take home, every experience has been curated to nourish your body and ignite your spirit.
When the sun sets, the laughter begins! Expect side-splitting evening entertainment that will leave your cheeks sore and your heart full — think games, music, comedy, and unforgettable moments shared with incredible women. Whether you’re unwinding with a glass of wine, dancing like nobody’s watching, or cheering on new friends, you’ll be reminded why Rustic Mama Retreats are so much more than just a weekend away — they’re an experience you’ll never forget.
Step away from the noise of everyday life and give yourself the gift of rest, reconnection, and renewal. Nestled amid rolling countryside and river views, Benmiller Inn & Spa offers the perfect blend of luxury and nature, pampering and play, quiet and connection.
Whether you’re soaking in the spa, savouring chef-crafted meals, or sharing laughter by the fire with kindred spirits, this weekend promises to nourish your body, calm your mind, and lift your spirit. Because you’ve earned this — and sometimes, the best way to take care of everyone else is to first take care of you.
