Regular ethernet cable is not designed to be exposed to elements. Not to mention how to do it nice and tidy so the installation doesn't bring more trouble down the road.
But I think you have a point. If OP is looking for a long term solution (plan to keep internet live in the guest house), laying down a few cat 6 actually make a lot of sense.
1000' outdoor cat6 (something nice allowing direct burial) should run no more than $200. Lay down 2~3 cables at once (so in case of one breaks, another can sub in quickly), put a good wi-fi AP at the guest house and voila.
