There are a lot of walls between the structures, and wireless signal will not reach that building with a single hop. I was going to set up either a wireless bridge OR use a larger antenna, when I had the idea of just installing another cable modem at the end of the coax in the guest house. Is this possible or am I better off setting up a wireless bridge?

Comcast Policy on this one is in order to have two cable modems you need 
separate accounts for each modem.  The reason for this is the 
provisioning system that is currently used to grant the modem access to 
the Internet.  It only allows one cable modem per account, so you would 
have to pay for a separate account.  So you are better off setting up a 
wireless bridge or something like that.
