I recently purchased a house with a gas log fireplace. It has a mertik maxitrol gv34 control system. I do not have the remote controller. Can I turn it on without the remote?

I'm not familiar with the specific control mentioned, but, I've not seen any that can't be operated without a remote. They usually have a 3 way switch, ON-OFF-REMOTE, wired to the gas valve.
Forget the the log fireplace and get a linear burner. I just installed a Hampton Modern fire unit and its awesome
Huge flame and the $$ was 30% less than all other brands that I shopped!

its not a 'gas log set' with a maxitrol valve!
probably a badass Valor...
OP, can you find a label with make/model info?
if so i'm sure we can help.
(or you can google for the owners book and operating instructions
)

probably not with this valve.
but yes it can be operated manually by first turning on the pilot manually and turning the valve to 'on'
