Homes and floors in Lake Sherwood and Hidden Valley
The lake is a reservoir made by Sherwood Dam in 1901, and homes have stood around it ever since. The community took its name from the 1922 Robin Hood film shot there, as the location of Sherwood Forest, and grew with the Sherwood Country Club golf course and the houses around it. Hidden Valley, to the west, is an equestrian ranch community of single-family houses on parcels of 20 acres or more.
Lake Sherwood takes in a guard-gated golf-club community and three electronic-gated ones, so give the gate instructions when you book. For a visit that runs past carpet to rugs and upholstery, check each rug’s fiber and each sofa’s cleaning code first: wool, viscose and jute and reading a cleaning code.
During the Woolsey Fire, CBS Los Angeles’s list of November 11, 2018, put all of Lake Sherwood and Hidden Valley under mandatory evacuation, and on November 13, after a flare-up near the lake, FOX 11 reported mandatory evacuations ordered in both areas. Where smoke reaches a house, soft furnishings need careful cleaning: ash and smoke indoors.
