Yes and no.

There are two regions in the state of Michigan, the lower peninsula and the upper. People in the lower peninsula claim to have no accent, and for the most part this is true. Lower peninsula people typically have no drawl or lilt, they do not have a twang and are not guttural. There are several words they use that are not typical in other areas of the US, such as "Ma" for "mom," "crick" for "creek," all carbonated soft drinks are "pop."

People north of the bridge are another matter. There accent has been flavored heavily by Welsh and Finnish immigrants, and is very distinctive. "Dat's life in da YooPee, doh, eh?"
