Hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Jan. 25 and 26, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Jan. 27. Admission: $10 online; $12 at the door; $4 for ages 6-12; $3 discount for seniors on Jan. 27. Tickets online at minneapolishomeandremodelingshow.com. The show is at U.S. Bank Stadium, 401 Chicago Av. S., Minneapolis.

This year's fully furnished fantasy abode is a modern mountain retreat in Whitefish, Mont., that juxtaposes rustic wood-timber framing and textures with clean lines and classic details.

Home highlights include a dramatic great room furnished with a rust-tone sectional and sheet-metal-clad ribbon fireplace, charcoal gray and white cook's kitchen equipped with a brushed stainless-top island and six-burner range, and a cool iron canopy bed in the master bedroom.

Step outside the four-bedroom house to several sitting areas to gaze at Rocky Mountain vistas, from a cedar hot tub on a treetop deck to a patio warmed by a stone fireplace.
