Bill Germain was born and raised in Massachusetts. He earned his vocational trade in Food Service and Hotel and Restaurant Management in 1981. His job as a remote campsite manager and cook has taken him all over Alaska, the other 49 states, and Antarctica. Being an avid adventurist, in 1986, he came to Alaska to climb Denali. In 1989, he came back to Alaska and stayed since then. Grace Mariano was born and raised in the Philippines. She is a civil engineer by profession. In 1991, she migrated to New York, then to Alaska a year later, following her career path in the environmental field. Bill and Grace met through common friends from Talkeetna in 1998. Grace and Bill share a common passion for Alaska and all its natural wonders. In 2000, they got married and had their first child, Karo. Five years later, they were blessed with another baby girl, Cheri. They started the bed and breakfast business in 2001. The Germains are grateful that they have found their own little paradise in this beautiful town of Talkeetna.
