There may be advantages to having it under your cottage as it is now - it probably stays a little warmer in the cold (although you could actually put a 100W light bulb or something to "heat" the pump house during iffy months), and of course where it is now you can probably hear when the pump is running, so you know if there's a problem.
Ours is under the cottage (but only by a foot or so), so it's not too bad to work on. How far under your house if the pump? If it's way under there, I can see where this would be a pain.

Yes it is advantageous to have it under the camp to prevent freezing but after 42 years of bending over that stuff, I want it moved to the fresh air, natural light and to a place where I can stand to work on it versus stooping.
