Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day or looking to enjoy a couples retreat, our Kaya cabin was created with intimacy in mind. Nestled under a curved corrugated metal ceiling, the interior layout is perfect for a couple looking to get away and relax. Kaya’s kitchen offers a perfect spot to look out into nature while preparing your food. Out back through the pines, you’ll find quick access to hiking trails, and a community fire pit is close by.

The space
In 2008, Blue Moon Rising’s visionary and founder, Lisa M. Jan, had the unique vision to integrate vacation rental properties and sustainable construction practices and techniques. Throughout the construction of our facility, we made decisions with the earth and its resources first, so we believe we have created a one-of-a-kind vacation experience while leaving as little impact on our natural landscape as possible.


A cornerstone of Blue Moon Rising is that nothing goes to waste. Each and every tree that was removed was carefully evaluated so they could be reused elsewhere on the project. Whether as trim, a support post, or simply as wood to fuel the highly efficient masonry stove, these trees have been given a new life in the fabric of Blue Moon Rising. The dirt removed during excavating foundations was carefully sifted and mixed with clay, water, and lime to become the natural plaster coatings on the interior and exterior straw bale walls of our flagship building, “The Leap”.
With construction complete, we continue to apply earth-first principles to the day-to-day operations of Blue Moon Rising.
