Easy Convenience
Guest house plans are a great option for visitors, regardless of how long they stay or how often they visit. College roommate coming for the weekend? In-laws staying for a while? No matter the situation, they’ll love how convenient your guest house is. And when choosing your guest house plans, feel free to choose one of our more spacious designs! While your guests love having their own private house to stay in, you’ll love the extra living space and storage that it gives you at other times.
Many homeowners choose to put their guest house plan close to their existing home or new home build. This way, you can spend the maximum amount of time catching up and making memories with your visitors, before you part ways at the end of the night. Guest house plans also can be styled to match practically any home. Whether it’s a rustic country cabin or a sleek modern getaway, your guest house plan will fit in seamlessly.

When looking for guest house plans, search for ones with unique spaces that will help make visits that much more relaxing for everyone.

Relaxing Comfort
With such a wide array of guest house plans to choose from, you’re bound to find one that fits your home and style. You and your guests will enjoy relaxing after a long day of visiting and activities, and there is nothing better than to offer them a retreat of their own. The days of stressful visits and entertaining for long periods of time can be over! Guest houses don’t only have to be for temporary visitors, either. Many homeowners will look for in-law suites to accommodate aging parents who may move in full-time. Consider the comfort that guest house plans can offer, along with the independence of a full home.
Guest house plans range in style, and also in size and amenities. When searching for the perfect guest house plan, consider not only your preferences, but also the potential needs of your guests. If planning for elderly guests, a single floor plan with large open spaces is ideal. If you’re searching for a plan that can accommodate many visitors, look for guest house plans with multiple bedrooms or bunkrooms. Put yourself in the guests’ shoes and think about what you would value in a guest home that you were staying in.
Perfect for long-term or short-term stays, the Keyingham Cottage (THD-7424) can do it all. You’ll find Craftsman-style design throughout this cottage, while a full kitchen, bed and bath, and a living room with a fireplace make it extremely comfortable. Guest house plans such as this are a great option if you are building for an elderly family member to live with you.

Charming yet extremely affordable, this plan matches convenience with style, proving that guest homes can be luxurious without a huge price tag.
Affordable Luxury
Another wonderful thing about guest house plans is just how affordable they really are. Many homeowners automatically assume that a guest house is a thing of extravagance. The reality is that they can be a touch of luxury without the price tag. The size and simplicity of many guest house plans make them affordable and sensible. And their designs mean that they will take only minimal space on your property.
Before building a guest house plan, check your local building codes and with your homeowners association, if necessary. Some places may have regulations on building a second home on a property, so make sure you’re allowed. After that, take some time to find your perfect guest house plan. Remember to consider the needs of your guests and to explore the different amenities that each plan offers!
