Don't forget to fully winterize it as well. Just turning off the water does not drain all of the water from the pipes. Don't forget the water-heater, too. Remove the traps from under the sink to drain them, then replace them. Also, you can buy a non-toxic anti-freeze to put in the lines.
It won't help create the appearance of someone living in the home, but they do also make winter covers. The basic price range is from about $100 to $1000 (and more) depending on how durable you want the all-weather layer to be.
Neighbors can be good security systems. You'd be surprised what a fresh batch of brownies can buy.
