    ... the damage (due to the burst pipe) was not too severe -- it's not impossible that an unobserved burst pipe could lead to major secondary problems...

      Thankfully there is no water going into the cabin during the winter and the pipes are (supposed to be) empty. In other words, the damage was very limited and the problem fully resolved by replacing the burst pipe. So the main issue was one day without running water. But at least we then appreciated it more when we got it back... ;)
