Footprint guidebook recommends Hostel Oasis Granada. Private rooms $19 per night, they have a pool and free wifi and phone calls. (picture left)
On vrbo, I found an okay studio apartment for $600 a month, need to check if you can use the pool though. I think if the main house is rented out you can't use the pool.
This garden apartment is $670 and is nicer (picture right) but again, need to double check that you can use the pool!
Nevada: I like the sound of Seven Mile Canyon Ranch ($170 pp per day, plus activities) in Virgina City, which looks like a really nice town. But their website doesn't seem to work.
Wyoming: The cheapest week-long dude ranch experience I've found is at the CM Ranch in Dubois, WY. Two adults and a baby about $3700 all inclusive. I looked at 30 dude ranches in Wyoming, they are all very similarly priced and none accept shorter-than-4-night stays in the summer.
Colorado: About 30 dude ranches are listed here, I haven't looked at any but assume they are similarly priced to the ones in Wyoming.
2.5 hours from Yellowstone, Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. Plenty of mediocre camping nearby. Or we can stay in a cottage or a barn for $100 a night. The barn is on a working farm so you can feed the animals, child friendly.
Here are pictures of the hotel I was thinking of booking for Morelia. In an email they said:
The Patzcuaro Suite is off the large courtyard entryway and also consists of two rooms. One is a den with a futon that pulls out into a bed if needed and also has a single bed. The other room is a bedroom with a queen size bed. This suite has a private bathroom with shower that is NOT in the suite. You have to leave the suite, go through the courtyard, and enter the main house to get to the bathroom. For the sole purpose of bathroom location, this suite rents for $55 US per night. It is a very nice large bedroom and den, original to the house.
But they may be flexible on the price for a long-term rental. Other suites in the hotel rent for up to $95, but there is one for $65 with private bath.
This is a family friendly place recommended by Lonely Planet for mud baths and tourism in Napa Valley (1.5 hours from San Francisco). $170 per night: Calistoga Spa Hot Springs
Long drive (almost 5 hours) from Vernal. Should stay in a hotel in Montpelier? For example, Fisher Inn
Recommended as very family friendly:HOTEL DEL SOL
SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, UNITED STATES
3100 WEBSTER STREET, SAN FRANCISCO, CA
