Making sure they have enough towels, linens, bath products, etc. is important, but the space itself must also accommodate their needs. A guest house or guest room is essential in any home when you have visitors and creating a cozy space for your traveling friends and family is a must. Follow these ideas and your guests will be sure to stay again!

If your space allows, a private bathroom for your guests is sure to make their stay more enjoyable. A place for them to feel at home and freshen up without feeling like they are overstepping their boundaries in your home will keep them at ease.
Kitchen Space
Additionally, a small kitchen area creates a space for your friends and family to bring along any food and drink items they please – making their stay feel a little more like home. Allowing for a small kitchen space lets your guests feel as though they have most of the similar amenities they would in their home.
Double Beds
If you have a small guest space to work with, but know that you will have guests often, a room with 2 beds is an easy way to make space to accommodate all your guests.
Design
The creative ideas that can be used to design a guest room are endless. While you aren’t the primary user of the room, you’re still the one who lets to design it. Take into account the style and personality of the rest of the home and implement that into your design. Playful patterns and vivid colors brighten up a room, while gray and neutral tones create a comforting feel. Casual yet comfortable decor will make your guests feel right at home.
Amenities
If your space allows, providing your guest with a TV, radio and reading materials is sure to keep them busy. A reading nook with books and magazines provides entertainment for your guests, and also lets you have a minute to yourself.
