Once my plants come in, they STAY inside until frost danger is gone in Spring. I just won't haul them in and out multiple times. My back is in too bad a shape to do that, even WITH a dolly. I have found suitable out-of-the-way or focal places inside near windows to perch them permanently for winter. I do, however, have 6 small pots of young 6" coral vines and 10" daphne plants I carry in and out for each threat of frost. They need their sunny warmth in the afternoons though. When I have to carry them inside, I set them down in the floor of my guest bedroom walk-in tile shower (that bedroom and bath face my back door) as we almost never use that bathroom (and never use the shower) unless we have company.
