Ideally it would. It does depend on how far the guest house is from the normal house. You would have an eero 6 plugged into your Hotbox via ethernet, the eero 6 would be your head/gateway eero and will create a new wifi network. The other eero 6 will connect to that gateway eero (wired or wirelessly) and broadcast the same wifi. You can arrange them in a chain to give you the best chance for coverage. For example you will have your hotbox with the gateway eero, eero B will be in that same house as close to the Guest house as possible. eero C will be in the guest house wirelessly connecting to eero B. We like to see around 30 to 50 feet between eero (in a direct line). If you have a larger distance between the house and the guest house you may want to check in for a point to point wireless bridge. You can go Hotbox->eero A (gateway eero) eero A->wireless bridge 1 (--wireless connection--) wireless bridge 2->eero B and that can all work.

Eero routers are meant to replace traditional routers and are typically not used to replace hotspots. To function properly they need an ethernet sourced internet connection, often coming from a modem or other box provided by your internet provider. If those criteria are met it's possible Eero could extend WIFI to your guest house, but that depends on how far away it is from the main unit. I hope this answers your question and that you have a wonderful day.
