Any dead mouse will be fully dried out by spring. Personally I would use poison, a trap can only get one.
Before my dad retired we did many dozens of camp closing and opening. The concept is pretty simple, gravity. If there are any low spots in the pipes the water ends up there. If there was a camp where we could not get a look at the pipes under the house we would put some anti freeze into the system.
If it's a snow year make sure the roof gets shoveled.
Assume the power will go out and don't depend on any kind of heater.
It does not take much air to blow out the pipes. A small compressor is best but a bike pump will work too if you can rig the hose to a fitting.
Put and A frame of boards over any plants near the house that might be crushed by snow.
Canned food was already mentioned, it will freeze and burst.
