no...and anyone who brings a guitar to my house is invited to take it with them when they leave.

Do You Keep a Guitar in Your House for Visitors?

No.
But I have practice amps at two of my band mates homes in case I visit them and we want to work on music or jam.

I don't either, but that's how I justified buying a guitar -- In case a friend comes over to jam. No one has ever touched it except me.
I keep a little bit of everything and friends are welcome to play whatever I have.
I've got what I've concluded is the best "cheap" guitar on the market, a Yamaha FS720S. Just about everyone who's come over with their own acoustic guitar has ended up playing mine instead (one had a Collings and was not going to play anything else)!
I'm also firmly in the parlor guitar size camp, as they're way easier to play than a dreadnought and put out a more balanced sound for group playing, recording, etc, and may have made a couple of converts over the last couple of years.

I started on guitar so have several that I play some but they do get more play by others for songwriting and the occasional overdub in my studio by myself or others.
I actually have several guitars, basses, a full drum kit, a Hammond and Leslie, and PA all accessable all the time. Never know what might happen at my house.
I have several guitars and amps, as well as percussion other instruments for drop-ins to use.
Anyone who visits us is musically challenged. However they can shop, purchase nonsense and can find the crappiest dumb TV programs entertaining. I crawl in my hole and play or listen.
Better in the closet in a case than sitting on a stand gathering dust and risking getting knocked over. If you ever thought seeing it might motivate you to pick it up, maybe, but shy of that keep it cased.
Imagine the cool factor if one of your (soon to be teen) daughters takes an interest in guitar and dad hands her a pristine Martin to get started.
I keep a lefty and righty 'guest' bass, a lefty and righty 'guest' electric six-string, and a righty "guest" acoustic (sorry lefties...) 
There is always a bass on a stand in my house and i stop by and noodle, or pick it up while waiting on wifey to get ready, stuff like that. It's not plugged in but that's fine, all my J basses are plenty loud enough to play unpulgged in an otherwise quiet room.
I have multiple guitars in my house for myself and others are also allowed to play them.
