In 1885 Charles Bennett purchased Constable Point. He renamed the land as Antlers Point and started to build. The hotel Antlers opened in 1887. It accommodated 200 guests, the largest in the area at that time. Antlers offered a main building with modern conveniences as well as wall-tents, open camps, and little cottages. Room and board was $17.50 to $25 per week. Advertisements from S. R. Stoddard's book “The Adirondacks” helped publicize the resort. In 1909 moneys for a road was allocated to be constructed from Antlers to the Raquette Lake Railroad Station. It was a two mile span. Charles died in 1915 and ownership was transferred to his sister Margaret Bennett who sold the Antlers to the Cedar Island Corporation of New York in 1920
