I figured mice would prefer long grass coverings and maybe less likely to try to get inside your how in the winter if you have a mowed lawn

Its probably more likely. The overgrown lawn could support a higher mouse population and more mice will be seeking the warmth when winter comes.

Which should also attract snakes. Which is what I experienced when our house was next to a vacant lot that was let to grow and reseeded itself naturally for 5 years. We never had a mouse problem, but lots of snakes in the area ( harmless kinds like Garter, Fox and Brown snakes), especially when you'd mow your lawn they'd be appearing and slithering off.
