I returned fron Myanmar on saturday Oct 2, while i was there i travelled to Inle Lake and spent 4 nights at the Shwe Inn Tha Hotel (only floating hotel on the lake with a pool) the staff and facilities were great a really lovely hotel with bungalow style accommodation, the lake itself was a spectacular place to visit surrounded by the hills makes it a really relaxing place to be.
we flew into Heho from Bagan and caught a 1hr taxi ride to Inle jetty for $25USD then a 1hour boat ride to hotel for $11USD.
We had a great time even though it was "rainy season" (and it did rain while we were there) The weather was warm to hot during the day and cool at night but we would go again tommorrow if not for work. The lake had not dried up but there were notices in the room to be water wise.
I hope you find this information helpful, enjoy your trip.
