If something were to happen to the White House to make it that the president could no longer live safely in it, where would he and his family be relocated to?

I meant more like, in general for any modern president.

There was a proposal to build a castle up in the Colorado mountains in the 1910s to serve as a seasonal White House. But WW1 and the fact that Wilson thought it was too elaborate. I'll edit this later if I can find some detail on it.
In 1911, Walker sponsored an automobile rally on Mount Falcon and laid out a golf course at its base. Walker also dreamed of a palatial Summer White House on Mount Falcon for President Woodrow Wilson. Walker commissioned prominent Denver architect Jules Jacques Benois Benedict to design a “Summer White House” modeled on the castle built by King Ludwig of Bavaria. The cornerstone was laid and construction begun. Despite enlisting every schoolchild in Colorado to contribute a dime, the Summer White House never proceeded beyond the foundation, due to lack of funds and the coming of World War I.
I was able to find this Jefferson County, Colorado website talking about the history of Mount Falcon Park.
The King Ludwig of Bavaria is most likely Ludwig II, who constructed the Linderhof Palace and the Neuschwanstein Castle, which is probably what the article is referring to.

I also found a picture of an informational sign at the Mount Falcon Park showing drawings of the planned Summer White House
