Everytime I leave my vacation home I always shut the pump breaker off,
regardless if it's summer or winter. In case a pipe would break it
would prevent the pump from constantly running.
However as the other poster stated, you could just winterize the
entire cabin and just leave the furnace off. However it would be a bit
of a pain if you had to winterize the cabin everytime you turned on the
water and it was time to go back home.
