At minimum, close the main, drain the system down and leave heat on low rather than off. A plumber can blow the lines out and treat the traps if the place will sit through the whole cold season.

It depends on the policy and often on whether heat was maintained, so contact your insurance provider before you start repairs. Photograph everything and keep the failed part.

Sitting idle with a full tank encourages sediment and corrosion, and the anode rod gets no attention. Tanks in seasonal homes near Fennville often age faster than the same unit in a year-round house.

That valve belongs to the utility, not to you. Use the interior main shutoff, and if it is seized or you cannot find it, that is the repair to make before winter rather than after. The same advice holds for the older cottages toward Allegan and Zeeland.
