Our long-awaited hand-carved sign is now proudly displayed in front of the Inn, where it beautifully bids "Welcome" to our guests! This prominent piece of artistry was custom crafted by Merle Gardner (Lynn’s father, pictured on the right side of our beautiful new sign), who has been developing his carving skills since 1985. The project took 5 months to complete as it was carved entirely by hand using no power tools what-so-ever. Merle continues to create many hand-carved projects (including custom-made violins) at his home in Chilliwack, B.C. Canada.

Chuck (pictured on the left of the sign), the designer of our fine website and "spare time" builder of custom furniture, was commissioned to do the final sanding, staining, and finishing of the sign.

 We would like to take this opportunity to thank both Dad and Chuck for their considerable time and talents. We expect that our "one of a kind" sign will be greeting our guests for many years to come! Be sure to look for it when you arrive for your next romantic getaway at Mountain Valley Home B&B!
