Danny - I've had a vacation cabin overlooking a lake in the mts for over 20 yrs. Have also just finished building a vacation home in the same area and it's vacant with no heat while I'm gone.....
Suggest you get a themometer that records the "lowest low" and leave it inside to see how cold it's getting at night.....I think if it getting to 50/60 in the daytime, you're good to go......
From my experience, you need temp's inside in the low 20's or below continually for several days before a pipe would freeze and break.
I build the cabin myself and designed the plumbing system to with no horzonial runs and drank it all in to the walk-in crawl space.
On the new house, I shut the well off, open a facuet by the well and use air pressure (fitting near the hot water tank) to blow the water in the pipe either thru the open faucet in the house or back thru the one by the well........So, being in a much colder climate, I get water out of both places when I'm not there......I think you're OK, but would keep an eye on those low temps......G'luck..
