Wallpapering Walls in a unheated Cabin?

We have a cabin in the woods that we are putting sheetrock on the inside walls. Instead of painting the walls, I was thinking of wallpapering since I got a ton of wall-paper from a clearance sale. Will wall paper stay stuck on walls in a cabin that are not heated during the winter months?? I can always paint the sheetrock, but wall paper would be nice too.

    Put your wall paper up before the freeze and you will be fine. Once the glue cures there is nothing for lack of heat to affect. Wall paper does not need heat to adhere properly, it needs to stay dry. As long as it is not exposed to exterior weather conditions, rain, snow, sleet, you will be fine, plain cold will not affect it.

    Have a cabin in Nova Scotia and only used 2 weeks in the winter. Wall paper never an issue with the heat off and frigid winters. I would reccomend doing it in summer to let it bond before it goes through a winter.

    I am not sure.... maybe you can just do a small area and see how it holds up over the winter?

    No do not do that. You would just be encouraging the growth of mold and mildew
