Guest House & Backyard Cottage Ideas, explained.
A guest house is the biggest upgrade a backyard can take: a bed and a bathroom for visitors, family or rent. These designs show ADUs, casitas, bunkhouses and cottages that borrow the main house's materials and give their guests a porch of their own.

What to look for as you browse
- Roof pitch, siding and windows that echo the main house
- The path, the light by the door and the planting around it
- Power, insulation and drainage if you will work or sleep in it
