"I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map"
Austin-Bergstrom is by far the closest airport to the Westphalia/Temple/Gatesville area. Let us know if you have any questions! Public transportation is really not an option, so we recommend renting a car.
As far as lodging goes, there are a lot of options. This is a more rural part of Texas with quite some distance between Straight Ahead Ranch and the Church of the Visitation. Airbnb might be your best option to find something to your liking, but here are some suggestions. We decided against putting in a hotel block because our families will not be staying in a specific place. Please let us know if you have any questions about the places we have recommended below!
Since this is the only place (generally) not on the map above, Gatesville is north-west of Straight Ahead Ranch by about 20 miles.
