Hilltop Hideaway Cabin is located at historic Fremont Powerhouse complex. The surrounding valleys once teamed with mining activity, primarily gold. Around 1903, local mines began to notice a decline in earnings and promoted construction of a cheaper power source in an effort to operate the mines more economically. As a result, the Fremont Powerhouse was constructed and began operation in 1908. Two dams were constructed at Olive Lake and water from the lake was piped through an eight-mile-long wood and steel pipeline to the powerhouse to generate the much-needed electrical power. The houses were constructed to shelter workers who monitored the pipeline for breaks and kept the powerhouse operating.
