Kansky's, also known as Kanski's, Big Skookum, is a former boarding house, now used as a hunting lodge, located at mile 42 of the Nabesna Road in Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve of eastern Alaska. The property includes log cabins, bunkhouses, and storage buildings, which were built in 1934 by Steve Kanski to provide lodging and travel services to road crews and workers at the nearby mines. The two businesses that currently run in Nabesna, Alaska are owned by the Ellis family. Ellis Big Game Guides operates out of the original Kansky Lodge. Devils Mountain Lodge is located adjacent as a Bed&Breakfast and hunting lodge independently. The property, a private in-holding within the bounds of the national park, is now operated as a hunting lodge.[2]
The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1]
