Each hospital and cancer central has their own protocol for transplants and the time post-transplant. We live 80 miles from where my husband had his transplant, but have to rent an apartment close by for the 90 days post-transplant. We understand the rationale for this, but in our case he is only going for blood work and to see the doctor or PA once a week. It does seem like we could be home just as well. Don't know about being 60 miles away or what your situation will be. I guess my point would be to choose your facility for all of the right reasons, not just geographical closeness as you might have to rent lodging anyway.
