Arrington Meadows
An idyllic countryside retreat nestled on 20 private acres in Arrington, TN.
Designed and Hosted with Love by Alissa Lawton Design
A place to connect, rest, create, and feel at home.
There are some spaces that simply hold people.
And then there are spaces that change the way people feel.
Arrington Meadows was created to be the latter.
For as long as I can remember, my work has revolved around creating environments that invite people to slow down, gather closely, and experience beauty in a deeply personal way. My career began in hospitality, later evolved into wedding planning and event design, and eventually grew into interior design and floral artistry. No matter the medium, the heart behind my work has always remained the same: creating spaces that feel meaningful.
Arrington Meadows is the physical expression of everything I love most.
What began as a quiet cottage on open land became an opportunity to create something intentional - a retreat rooted in warmth, thoughtful design, and true hospitality. Every room was designed with care: layered textures, collected vintage pieces, soft lighting, earthy tones, meaningful details, and spaces that encourage connection. Not perfection. Not performance. Just comfort, beauty, and room to breathe.
This is a place for:
slow mornings and coffee on the porch
shared meals and long conversations
creative retreats and workshops
photography and storytelling
celebrations that feel intimate and personal
music, art, journaling, rest, and inspiration
gathering with people you love
The cottage and gathering barn were designed to feel both elevated and deeply welcoming, refined, but never precious. The hope is that when guests arrive, they immediately exhale.
More than anything, I wanted to create a place where people feel something while they’re here.
A place that feels calm.
A place that feels inspiring.
A place that feels remembered long after they leave.
Welcome to Arrington Meadows.

What It Used To Be
Before Arrington Meadows became the warm, welcoming retreat it is today, the cottage was simply a home with untapped potential.
After the property sat vacant, a pipe burst caused significant water damage throughout the house, exposing years of wear and many hidden issues along the way. What followed was a thoughtful restoration and complete reimagining of the space, and truly, a joy to bring to life.
Every room was intentionally redesigned to feel warm, restful, and deeply welcoming. It is proof that with care, vision, and new life, something worn can become something truly beautiful.
My hope is that Arrington Meadows becomes more than simply a place to stay.
I hope it becomes a place where memories are made, creativity is sparked, conversations linger longer, and people leave feeling more connected than when they arrived.
More than anything, I hope you feel welcomed here and able to slow down, breathe deeply, gather closely, and savor the beauty of ordinary moments again.
Thank you for being part of the story of Arrington Meadows.
