In 2008, Blue Moon Risings’ visionary & 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 BMR is that nothing goes to waste. Each and every tree that was removed was carefully evaluated so that 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 BMR. 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 on our flagship building, “The Leap”.

With construction complete, we continue to apply earth 1st principals to the day to day operations of Blue Moon Rising.

The hallmark of Blue Moon Rising, the guiding principle in its every aspect, is to demonstrate that comfort and beauty need not be (and will not be) sacrificed for humans to live lightly on this, our only planet.

A majestic forest adventure awaits

Nestled in the woods in Bittinger, Maryland are a few Treehouses that are sure to bring out the kid in you. These fully furnished, luxurious Treehouses are designed for daily rental with full utilities and amenities. Surrounded by nature, high up in the treetops is the perfect place to relax. These majestic and cozy structures will be the perfect get away for any family. There are a wealth of activities to do here like hiking, biking, snowmobiling, skiing, swimming, fishing, or just relaxing in the forest listening to the birds and watching the squirrels.

The Treehouses are just minutes from Deep Creek Lake and Wisp ski resort. The property is adjacent to the Savage River State Forest which includes hundreds of acres of forest to play in. Also, the Meadow Mountain trailhead is less than a mile from the Treehouses. We look forward to hosting you in the Treehouses for a few nights away that you will never forget.
