Lake Constance
I would like to go to Lake Constance. Is there any suggestions of a place to stay around the lake? Suggestions of anywhere on the German, Austrian, or Swiss side would be welcome. Thank You!

I agree with Adrian45, take a look at Meersburg, here is a link to their website:
www.meersburg.de
just click on the British flag is you don't read/speak German.
We stayed at the Zum Baren, it is a very steep walk downhill to get to the actual river, not bad going downhill but a steep uphill climb.
It's easy to take a boat to Mainau Island, don't miss it, so very beautiful and also there is a boat to Konstanz, across the Bodensee for a visit to the Switzerland side of the lake. Also, Lindau is nearby, besides the many interests in Meersburg will certainly keep you busy.
Enjoy your visit.

We have stayed in both Lindau and Meersburg. Both are great but I think we liked Meersburg best.
We also stayed at the Zum Baeren. If you have any problem walking back up from the Lake (if I can do it, it's not that bad), then there is bus service available from the Lake to the road right across the street from the Zum Baeren hotel.

I definitely agree with taking the boat to Mainau Island. Some of the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen. A couple of photos of Meersburg and Mainau from our webshots photo album:

In September, we are going back to Bodensee but this time we are staying in Uberlingen.
