Yes the 'one man left awake' seems to be the traveller.
awake = alive
The term “sleep” is often used symbolically to mean death. Certainly it is used this way in the Bible which de la Mere would have been familiar with. I included one link to a reference showing this.
David petitioned the Creator: “Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God: Lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death” (Psa. 13:3).
Awake would seem, therefore, in this case to poetically mean alive.
The traveller has been speaking to the phantoms, the ghosts of the dead in the house, so he is the only man alive in the poem.
