We present the rest-frame UV and optical photometry and morphology oflow-redshift broad-line quasar host galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky SurveyReverberation Mapping project. Our sample consists of 103 quasars at $z<0.8$,spanning a luminosity range of $-25\le M_g\le -17$ mag. We stack themulti-epoch images in the $g$ and $i$ bands taken by the Canada-France-HawaiiTelescope. The combined $g$-band ($i$-band) images reach a $5\sigma$ depth of26.2 (25.2) mag, with a typical PSF size of $0.7"$ ($0.6"$). Each quasar isdecomposed into a PSF and a S\'ersic profile, representing the central AGN andthe host galaxy components, respectively. The systematic errors of the measuredhost galaxy flux in the two bands are 0.23 and 0.18 mag. The relative errors ofthe measured galaxy half-light radii ($R_e$) are about 13%. We estimate therest-frame $u$- and $g$-band flux of the host galaxies, and find that theAGN-to-galaxy flux ratios in the $g$ band are between 0.9 to 4.4 (68.3%confidence). These galaxies have high stellar masses $M_\ast =10^{10}\sim10^{11}\, M_\odot$. They have similar color with star-forminggalaxies at similar redshifts, in consistent with AGN positive feedback inthese quasars. We find that the $M_*-M_\text{BH}$ relation in our sample isshallower than the local $M_\text{Bulge}-M_\text{BH}$ relation. The S\'ersicindices and the $M_*-R_e$ relation indicate that the majority of the hostgalaxies are disk-like.
