Any suggestions for the best place to post a house available to rent for individuals taking a Sabbatical?

We would prefer to rent to someone in the academic community.

The university's housing office here has a separate list for faculty/graduate students; quite often we advise our newly hired faculty members to check that office, and they thus locate a sabbatical furnished rent which they use while getting acquainted with the city and suburbs so as to decide where to rent or buy. (Then tend to put most of their furniture into storage while doing this.) If you're in a location with several colleges and universities, you might explore that possibility with all of them. Major science departments may also have people coming in on post-docs; teaching hospitals may have incoming residents from 1 July. Depending on your schedule, I'd guess that also would be a promising place to list a semester-long or year-long rent.

I had really good luck with sabbaticalhomes.com

Nice people, also professors, respected my place as I respected theirs.
