I have a house that I sometimes use in the winter also.

I have a freeze alarm that is set to call me if the house reaches 40 deg. This temp setting gives me time to get to the house or call for service before freezing sets in if there is a problem. I also have the the freeze alarm wired so that I can maintain the house at 45 when I'm not there with the ability to call into it in the morning to raise the heat to 68 so by the time I arrive the house is nice and toasty.

I wouldn't be without the Freeze alarm, just make sure you use a fresh / high quality battery for the battery back up as battery voltage will drop and cause a "trouble" alarm when the house is cool.
