We ran a resort with a lot of cottages to get ready for winter. Those with the power left on was set at 55 but only in the basement or crawl space where the pipes are. All water upstairs was turned off and we put anti-freeze in the toilet and drains. In 20 years (Canada) we had no problem. Protect the foundation and pipes.
