    Needed to dig a dozen fence post holes and after trying my manual post hole digger, I knew there…read moremust be a better way! I yelped equipment rental and got hooked up with a one man power auger that will make the new fence job a lot easier! Reserved by phone for the weekend and am no longer dreading the project! Thanks ERS!

    Exceptional friendly service beyond any thing I could ever imagine from this family owned business…read more Laura and Sarah are each helpful over the phone and in person. I had difficulty picking a Yelp category for this business as they are a tool and equipment rental but also do camping, clamming, party and baby supplies. "You can't take a gun on the airplane" I just hate it when people tell me what I can't do. "but it's not a gun, it's a CLAM gun" a clam tube, a clam rifle, or sucker. A clam gun is about two and a half feet long and will not fit in a carry on suit case, nor will it fit in the overhead compartment nor under a seat. Besides I didn't own a clam gun and the cost to purchase one on ebay or Amazon.com is around $50 and I needed two. The cost to check a bag on the flight is $25. So it was beginning to look like a very expensive Zen clamming trip. Ever since I saw the Youtube video, Monster clams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBxERHMUwrA I've wanted to try clamming on Klipsan Beach in Washington. I had booked the flight, booked the condo, and even signed up for the clam digging "lesson". But every one I talked to in Long Beach, Washington told me there was NO ONE who rented clam guns so even if I purchased two up there I would have to leave them behind. After much searching, I did find a web site for All Rents (they say they are updating the website). http://allrentsinc.webs.com/ Laura was very helpful on the phone and said yes, they did rent clam guns. I reserved two guns for the weekend we needed and slept much better knowing I had all my ducks in a row for a great weekend. When we went to pick up the diggers we were reminded that we needed to purchase shellfish licenses, which we did in Washington. The cost...for the two diggers $14. The memories...Priceless.

    Hayden Island

    I took the Ridgefield Bachelor Island Circumnavigation Class…read more Overall, I would really give it 4/5 stars, but here I gave it 5 stars because I felt the 4 was really too subjective and I did not have enough objectivity to my reasoning. It was really a personal preference, as stated below. The instructor/guide, Peggy, was great! She was knowledgeable, helpful, funny, and catered the class to us (all 2 of us! well, 3 if you count my service dog!) What I got out of it? I got a lot of practice on my paddling. Peggy was great in making me learn my body the whats and whys of what I was doing wrong, which, is a much better way of learning than just being told. She guided me to the answer, but I still had to figure it out, which I did, and I now am more able to correct my own errors. Whenever there is a disabled person is a class, and one with a service dog, it can stress others out. Peggy handled it like a pro - as if she dealt with this all the time (and I know she doesn't!) It was welcoming and comforting to know how well we were going to be taken care of. So why did I give it 4 stars and not 5? Completely, 100%, subjective opinion. Boring. This is not a route I would take on my own, nor would I take the class again, mainly because there isn't a whole lot to see. For working on kayaking skills it's a 5/5. Making it an exciting adventure, a 4/5. This has nothing to do with the instructor (she did a great job, and I learned about the island, about wire dams, etc). It's more that it is just not something I would want to repeat. Would I recommend it? Yes! it is a great class after the beginner skills class, because you really have to work on all of the skills. Overall, Alder Creek has been great to work with and I can't wait for my next class (in 2 weeks!)

    Wonderful, low key, easy kayaking in a gorgeous setting. The staff was tremendous (shout out to…read moreHenry who was delightful, knowledgeable and went out of their way to help us). Great value and easy to navigate getting in and out. Wood ducks were out and about, but little other nature located on our 3 hour excursion. Except for one small challenging up river current crossing the rest was simple beginner level. A few sections on a Saturday were populated but I would say 75 % was uncrowded. A fun option for sure!

    I rented 35 white chairs for my husband's Celebration of Life. The chairs were folded and stacked…read morewhen we picked them up. When we unfolded the chairs to set up for our event I realized the chairs were filthy dirty and unsanitary. They had dirt spots, coffee spots, stains on the padded seats and chair backs. One chair even had a piece of lettuce and tomato stuck in the crack of the seat. I had to pay my event staff to clean and wipe down every chair. I have called all week to speak with the Manager at Botten's to alert them of a this issue of lack of quality control on their part. No one has returned my call. Beware if you rent from Botten's Rentals you are getting filthy unsanitary chairs at a cost of $3.95 each and you will have to do their job of cleaning Botten's products.

    I hate writing negative reviews but this update comes after really long and disappointing attempts…read moreto rent equipment from Botten's, and a few attempts to resolve the problem without receiving a call back after leaving a message with Botten's and after repeated calls and not being able to reach someone with the authority to actually do anything about the problem. We've rented from Botten's in past years and have given them referrals and good reviews, but this is not THAT Botten's. The Botten's we encountered this year is completely disorganized and the staff is unhelpful, incompetent and just doesn't seem to care. We rented a scissor-lift on a trailer which Botten's hitched to our truck and showed us "what we needed to know" to use it. When we got the lift to the site, it would not start. Totally dead. We never got it off the trailer. When we returned it they gave us a refund but also accused us of bending some piece of metal - not possible, since we never got it off the trailer. And the guy who unhitched the trailer (same guy who hitched it and gave us the "how to's" when we picked it up), apologized and said there was a propane switch that he forgot to turn on and "we wouldn't have known about it." I was upset about the wasted time, the accusation of damage and that we hired a painter for the day at significant expense and no painting was done. We decided to give Botten's another chance - even though they did not communicate with us we thought it was just one bad experience and we were going to let it go. Fast forward a month, we reserved the scissor-lift again, hired the painter again, and took the time to drive back to Botten's in the truck again only to find out that Botten's had no trailer for the lift. The guy at the desk was cussing some other guy about not knowing "how to manage trailers." So, our reservation meant nothing and again no painting was done and no one from Botten's reached out to us. I am writing this review to save you the same trouble - I am certain that our business, our time and our expense meant absolutely nothing to them. At this point, we've rented the lift elsewhere at a cheaper rate without any hassles and the cost for driving a few more miles was well worth it to deal with true professionals. If I could give this 2025 Botten's ZERO STARS, I would.
