A front view of Stange Manor in the Spring. It's on an acre with lots of
lawn, walnut trees and roses. It is truly a mansion!
The Living Room
(Just small part of it, actually)
This is a great gathering place in the evening. Some people talk, some watch
TV or a movie, and some read. There's lots of reading material here and
throughout the house.
The Dining Room
Perhaps the best part of B&B'ing is the breakfast conversations. Breakfast
is served between 6:30 - 9:00 a.m.
The Guest Room
This room has a view of both the rose garden and the main lawn, plus its
own bath and the queen bed seen here. The story is that Bing Crosby stayed
here when he visited the Stange's.
The Maid's Room
This queen-bedded room is a favorite of many. It has its own bath, an angled
wall, seven doors (one to the attic) and a very small auxiliary room with
a twin bed (not pictured). It has a balcony, too.
The Master Bedroom
The Master Bedroom is actually two bedrooms, the main queen bed room pictured
here and another room, equally large, that has two twin beds. The bathroom
opens off the main room. Both rooms overlook the main lawn.
Master Bedroom Twin Beds
This room is part of the Master Suite and includes two antique twin beds in a room that has an Oriental theme. Two of the walls in the room have continuous windows that face north and east with views of Mt Emily and the valley.
The Fireplace Suite
The Fireplace Suite has three rooms, two bedrooms (Ann's & Jane's), plus
the central sitting room, a part of which is shown here. The Suite's bedrooms
and its bath open off this central room.
Ann's Room
Ann's Room, part of the Fireplace Suite, has a queen bed with a canopy.
This is the newlyweds favorite room.
Jane's Room
August and Priscilla Stange, who built the house, had two daughters, Jane
& Ann. This room, which is also part of the Fireplace Suite, is named for
the older daughter. It has two antique twin beds and continuous
windows on the two outside walls.
The Staircase
The staircase to the upstairs rooms is a favorite with everyone. The design
and wood work makes this a true masterpiece.
Sun Room
Relax in a room of plants and three walls of windows by reading a good book, listening to the fountain, or just watch the world pass by.

Fall Colors at Stange Manor
Fall in the Grande Ronde Valley is colorful. La Grande itself has lots
of deciduous trees. Before the leaves drop it's beautiful, after there're
down it's fun to walk through them on the sidewalks -- often six inches deep!
Winter snows can make the landscape quite spectacular!
