Brewing my first Lager, it just started fermenting(1 bubble/5 sec.), right now it is at about 65 F. I am going to move the fermenter to the guest house(not in use, Thermostat regulating at 50 F).

Is it too soon, or should I move it now?

It should ferment at 50 degrees from the beginning.
 
I just did my first Lager and let it run the first 2 days at about 70, then into the cooler at 45 or there abouts for 3 months, worked great
 
I completely disagree with the start warm method of fermenting lagers. It doesn't make them near as clean.
