Inle Heritage House (Inthar Heritage House) is a group of traditional teak stilt houses near In Paw Khone in the southern part of the lake. The site is run by a local nonprofit that provides hotel and food-service vocational training for young people, while promoting Intha traditional architecture and cuisine. The restaurant uses organic produce from its own garden to prepare Intha dishes, and the setting is quiet. The site is also breeding purebred Burmese cats, a breed that had once nearly disappeared in Myanmar, and visitors can tour the cattery. A good spot for lunch during a lake tour.
