It comes to English via the Saxons, who spoke Low German; they called it a Huus. Before that, it may have come from the Proto-Indo-European word for a hiding place, skeus.
It's interesting to note that the word is pronounced the same way in modern English and German, even though it's spelled differently (house vs. Haus).
