We do a partial close on our last visit before the water and temps get too cold. Mostly we put away tools, water toys, outdoor furniture, canoe, etc. Hubby pulls in the water line and preps the pump for the spring. I empty the fridge and take home the bedding. I make sure there's no canned or bottled food that can freeze. We usually close in late October, but by early January we're back for our winter visits. One thing I would suggest is to take a few pictures of the place. I don't know how prevalent break-ins are in your area, but having up-to-date photos of your possessions go a long way when it comes to insurance claims!! We don’t really close up our place.
