Thanks so much for choosing us and taking time to complete a review. The twin XL room has an option for lowering the bed, however, since we cater to a lot of adult males who are here for work, we only adjust when we know children under 12 will stay. That is something that we will ask guests about from now on. We truly appreciate the feedback as well as how nice you and your guests left the place. Guests like you will allow us to remove cleaning fees, which is o e of our goals. We hope you and your guests will consider us the next time you are in the area. If you contact us we will offer you a discount on your stay. Safe travels from Earnie's Place.
Earnie's Place was ideal for my stay in the Saginaw/ Bridgeport area. Everything was wonderful; from the first correspondence with Cathy at Team Earnie to the last. The home was very clean, quaint, quiet, and perfect for my needs! Thank you for your hospitality, and little touches of kindness. If I travel to this area in the future, I'd be honored to stay at Earnie's Place again!

Thank you Jessica for staying at Earnie's Place. We were truly blessed to have you as our guest. We greatly appreciate the respect you showed for the home and the house rules. You left the place immaculate! You are always welcomed to return. Please let us know before you book so that we can reduce the cleaning fee to one appropriate for the condition that you left the property. It is guests like you make this part of the service industry a delight. Safe travels and God bless you.
We loved this property, the history of the property and it's surroundings is amazing, the neighborhood was inviting, the house was very clean and the garage has an awesome set up. We will definitely be booking this property in the future! Cathy is a great host and has an amazing heart, she stayed in contact and was there for any questions and concerns, which there were none other than the app malfunctioning!!

Thank you so much for allowing us to host you. This was an enjoyable occasion for us to help you celebrate. We absolutely love sports and sports fans! We often tailgate and watch games with our family in the garage. So glad you enjoyed your stay. Looks like you even used the fireplace despite the fact that it is mid July. Also, just to be clear, the VRBO App is what wasn't working. We hope to see you again soon during football season. Go Lions!
The home was very nice and clean! Great for game players, with an entire converted garage with just many games to play! Bicycles available too! Catherine, our host, was wonderful and always available for any question! Five stars for Catherine!

Chaz and his wife were first time visitors to the Saginaw area and we were excited to welcome them to all it has to offer. We are so pleased that they enjoyed their stay. As always, we did everything within reason to accommodate them including their change in travel plans as well as their unexpected early check-in. We appreciate the friendly communication and feedback. The checkout went beyond our instructions. Not only did they take care of the trash, but they also pulled the linen from both bedrooms! These are the types of guests that make hosting such a joy.
It was not a fault of the property, but neighbors were shooting off fireworks till after midnight. Some as late as 2 in the morning. Other than that, everything was great. Loved all the things they had in the garage for us to do. Very comfortable and easy process all the way through. I would recommend it to others.

Hi James. We apologize for the fireworks during your 4th of July weekend stay at our place. Our city has an ordinance which restricts the times for this activity, however, it's difficult to enforce. We are glad that things went good for you otherwise. Thank you for the feedback. And again thank you for staying at Earnie's Place. 😊

About the host
Hosted by Casual C
Earnie’s Place was founded in memory of a very hospitable woman who moved to Michigan to escape domestic violence. Once she was established in Michigan, she helped many other women in similar situations relocate by providing housing, meals, and transportation assistance. This place is dedicated to travelers and its goal is to provide the same southern hospitality that Earnie provided. Her legacy continues through her children and grand children who own and manage this property.
Why they chose this property
This property brings all the warmth of home. It has enough space for entertaining while bringing the family together. You may notice that the neighborhood is not a community of new homes. This is a transitional neighborhood. Most of the homeowners have been here for 30 years or more. General Motors was the main source of income for the area up until the late 90’s. However, when it left, many of the families went with it. Our community groups recently began working with the Saginaw County Land Bank to buy vacant properties to build median income homes on them.
What makes this property unique
We are family owned and love helping guests have a memorable experience. We offer complementary beverages and snacks based on the number of booked days. We help you plan birthday celebrations, girls trips, couple retreats, honeymoons and anniversaries. We cater to sports fans who are in town to see their favorite teams play. We provide extra services to our monthly guests including laundry facilities and other amenities.
