I'm sure there can be some companies that require it - if so I'd check with TV Insurance.
We have the "no coverage for vacant property" issue with our camp on the Finger lakes here in NY. No one can check it because you can't get to it in the winter. Our insurance company is USAA -- one of the best. They told me it was pretty standard.
