CIB, I'll chime in with some pity and a little advice.
I know rentals are different from sales, but when I advertised my house (in NO VA, DC area) for rent, I used the big ole Washington Post, which cost me over $300 for one weekend, and I got no calls!!
Then I advertised for free on Craigs' List, and received MANY responses, got my place rented immediately. I've used CL multiple times now, and even bought my car off it, very happy with it, and highly recommend CL!
Here it is:

Just find the city nearest you, and use the menu to look for real estate section, and look through the houses for sale in your area.
Write a really good ad, post some good pictures. You can do 4 pictures, or 1 or 2 pictures, and a floor plan of each level if possible. That's what I did. People love to see floor plans with measurements of rooms. And viola, people lined up to rent it, seriously they were competing!!
Good luck!
