“North Country American Inn presents a clean, quiet stay near Kalkaska's historical downtown, and the staff is noted for being friendly. While the building is dated and breakfast isn't available despite what older booking information suggests, the rooms are spacious. I would consider this an option if you're looking for basic accommodations within walking distance of local attractions and don't mind potential plumbing or internet quirks.”
