What can I personalize on the The Carter Family Lake House sign?

Every line shown in the personalization fields: Family name; Bottom line. We carve exactly what you type, and a real person reads each order before it meets the saw.

What sizes and finishes does it come in?

Three sizes: Small 16" x 3.5", Medium 24" x 5.5" and Large 30" x 7.25". Twenty hand-applied finishes, from Dark Walnut and Ebony to Barn Red and White Paint; the carved letters always stay natural wood so the words read clearly from across the room.

Can it say Cabin or Beach House instead of Lake House?

This carved design reads LAKE HOUSE; the family name and bottom line are yours to set. For CABIN, BEACH HOUSE or RIVER CAMP, send the wording through the custom request link and we will carve it as its own sign at the same price.

What if I make a typo in my personalization?

A real person reads every order before it is carved, and we carve exactly what you typed, so look the preview fields over once before checkout. If you catch a mistake after ordering, reply to your order confirmation right away and we will fix it before the board is cut.

How long does a personalized sign take to arrive?

Each sign is carved to order in our Kentucky shop rather than pulled from a shelf, and it ships free within the U.S. It leaves the shop in 2-7 business days, then takes another 2-5 days to reach you, and you get tracking as soon as it is on its way.

Personalized Lake House Sign | Carved Wood

The Lake House Gets Its Name in Wood

A lake place isn't fully yours until something on the wall says so. Our personalized lake house sign carves THE CARTER FAMILY — yours, that is — in spaced caps over LAKE HOUSE, with a pair of crossed oars carved between the words and SIT BACK, RELAX, UNPLUG rounding it out below.

Two Oar Styles, One Honest Board

Choose oars crossed between LAKE and HOUSE like a boathouse crest, or a pair standing tall at each end of the sign — the style option sets which one we carve. Either way the paddle blades, like the letters, are carved in and left natural against your stain.

Where It Hangs at the Lake

Over the mantel or screened porch — Large 30" reads from the dock
The bunk room or hallway of beds — Medium 24" keeps order
Back home — the Small 16" keeps the lake on your mind all winter
