Did you know?
I am proud to be a third generation hotelier. 

The start of the Jackson family hotel business was at the Terra Ceia Court in Winter Haven, FL. The hotel was purchased by my grandparents, Kathryn & A.C. Jackson, in the summer of 1967.  My father and our founder and CEO, Tom Jackson, became the Manager.

​The Terra Ceia was renovated and repositioned as Driftwood Motor Lodge. The Driftwood Motor Lodge was later sold on the day Walt Disney World opened, for a premium sale price.
