A guest house is a separate space from a main home that provides accommodations for guests, family members, or even renters. A guest house can range in size from a small 200 square foot studio with a kitchenette to a large two-bedroom, two-bathroom space with a full-sized kitchen, living room, and dining area.

A guest house (also guesthouse) is a kind of lodging. In some parts of the world (such as the Caribbean), a guest house is a type of inexpensive hotel-like lodging. In others, it is a private home that has been converted for the exclusive use of visitor accommodation.

For many homeowners, a guest house is a convenient way to host family and friends without sacrificing the privacy and comfort of either party. From a residential perspective, it's an extension of the main home, designed with the primary purpose of providing short-term living quarters for guests.
