Moms, Dads ----- need consumer advice stat---
We are an Army family. I am married to a junior officer and we live in government-assigned quarters. This means the homes are "intimate", so I have not needed a baby monitor in order to hear a waking napper. However, we will spend the next month at my folks' house staying in a back carriage house. Thus I need a baby monitor that works well. The range doesn't have to be amazing and I think I will even be ok with one that is plugged into the wall - just need one in the front house so I can hear the waking angel out back. Any and all suggestions welcome but please hurry, we leave in six days.
Thanks in advance, team.

Don't buy a Sony, ours was AWEFUL. We have a Fisher Price monitor, and I'm fairly happy with it. Not sure how far it reaches, but it does the trick in our home.
we use an older version of fisher-price sounds + lights monitor and it is GREAT (i have two sets, 1 for each kid). it is currently on sale at babies'r'us. i'd highly recommend it. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2919625
In case you don't want to buy you can usually rent baby monitors from baby rental places. Here is a website that lists them by state. There is also a national one called...Baby's Away...I think.

Another "Don't"
Don't get the newer graco digital kind. We got one b/c it is supposed to have great range, but the battery doesn't even last for a night and it gets static-y interference.
