For sale: 3 guest palaces to stow your relatives during holiday visits

There's a Cousin Eddie in every family. When they turn up at your house in December, sometimes it's nice to put as much space as possible between you and them.

It feels inadequate to say that these properties include "guest quarters," so we are calling them guest palaces instead. When your home is overflowing with out-of-town visitors, it can be nice to dream.
