garden suite
Detached guest quarters
A garden suite is a small self-contained dwelling on the same property as a larger house, typically in the backyard.
Unlike a basement suite, it's a separate structure—also called a laneway house, granny flat, or accessory dwelling unit.
Garden suites provide independent living space while keeping family members nearby: My parents moved into the garden suite after they retired.
