The structure of the sentence is what I am not understanding. Can someone give a break down ?
Breaking it down
It's an idiomatic expression '(bei jemandem) zu Gast sein'. It has this structure and cannot be used with other phrases.

Look down through the list of definitions and you will (hopefully) find that this usage is indeed in the dictionary. Viel Spaß!
Does "bei euch" specifically mean "at your place" and not "with you"? I had "I am a guest with you" rejected.
