Portable Buildings as Guest Houses or Airbnb Rentals

Looking to add a guest house to your property or start earning extra income with an Airbnb rental—without breaking the bank? A portable building from Willow Prairie is one of the most affordable ways to create a fully functional living space right in your own backyard.

Whether you need a place for family to stay, want to launch a side hustle, or simply increase your property value, it is indeed possible. While our buildings are sold as ordinary sheds and storage buildings, customers have transformed these shells into cozy, private, and stylish living quarters!

Why Choose a Portable Building?

✔️ Cost-effective – A fraction of the cost of building an addition

✔️ Fast setup – Delivered ready to finish, with no months-long construction delays

✔️ Customizable – Choose your size, layout, and features

✔️ Potential – With the right upgrades, customers have made them livable

✔️ Zoning-friendly – In many areas, portable structures are easier to permit

You don’t have to wait years to create the perfect space—your backyard guest house or rental cabin could be ready to set and finish out as needed in weeks.

Make It Feel Like Home

From the outside in, we’ll help you choose a model that’s both functional and welcoming. Many have used portable Cabins or Pioneer Cabins, Deluxe Lofted Cabins (wrap-around porch), Sun Studios, Garden Sheds, or even Lofted Barns as the starting point. Once delivered, you or your contractor can finish the inside with:

• Insulation and drywall or shiplap

• Flooring of your choice

• Plumbing and electric for a bathroom or kitchenette

• Heating and cooling for year-round comfort

• Decor that reflects your style or brand

Your guests—or renters—will enjoy the privacy and charm of a separate, self-contained living space.

Airbnb Rental Potential

Want to turn your portable building into a passive income stream? Platforms like Airbnb and VRBO make it easy to rent out your guest house to travelers, students, or remote workers. It’s the perfect blend of flexibility, profitability, and personal use.

Customers have turned their portable buildings into:

• Tiny homes

• Lakeside and Hunting cabins

• Guest suites for in-laws

• Playhouses for grandchildren

• Remote work retreats

• Artist or writer’s residences

The possibilities are as wide as your imagination!
