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.
Who do I call for such job? contractor? or electrician?
